Description
This module allows the student to put theoretical knowledge of engineering to use in a practical project related to Electronic and Computer-based systems and to document the project outputs to research publication standards. In this module students will use and develop knowledge and skills in managing projects, analysing, defining and implementing an engineering solution, documenting and presenting outcomes and key findings.

| Assessment Breakdown |
| Type | Description | % of total | Assessment Date |
|---|
| Presentation | Short peer-reviewed presentation on initial implementation progress. This elevator pitch video presentation will be created early in the module by each student. The presentation should describe the value of the proposed project work to a non-technical audience. The assessment of this element is performed by peer review. | 5% | As required | | Project | Independent project implementation takes place over the summer period, with students required to maintain regular progress updates in a designated research repository. Formal supervisor engagement is not required during this period. | 0% | As required | | Performance evaluation | Supervisor assessment of progress based on evidence from the independent project implementation period. | 15% | As required | | Portfolio | Final project portfolio, including a conference-style research paper, non-technical articles, appendices, a project demonstration, and an interview/viva voce. | 80% | As required |
| Reassessment Requirement Type |
Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories;
RC1: A resit is available for both* components of the module.
RC2: No resit is available for a 100% coursework module.
RC3: No resit is available for the coursework component where there is a coursework and summative examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a coursework/summative examination split; where the module is 100% coursework, there will also be a resit of the assessment

Indicative Content and Learning Activities
Presentation Preparation & Delivery
Presentation of key information, ideas and conclusions from the literature review and problem analysis, reporting progress on preliminary project design, evaluation of suitable methods, tools and technologies for implementation, experimentation, testing.
Implementation of Solution
Activities carried out to implement the project plan. May take many forms – system implementation and testing, experimental laboratory work, analytical and computer-based modelling and analysis, etc.
Testing & Analysis of Results
Designing appropriate tests and evaluating the outcome from these. Identifying and assessing new knowledge developed during the project in a critical and insightful manner.
Documentation of Outcomes
Production of a conference paper documenting the solution approach, its relation to the state-of-the-art, results obtained and key findings and conclusions from the project outputs. Compiling a portfolio of supporting appendix materials. Attendance at final project interview and demonstration with project assessors.
Communications with supervisor, technical support & others
Arrange communications to discuss the advancement of the project and the technical resources required.
