Module Aims
Project titles are suggested and supervised by staff members and usually reflect the research interests of staff. Project titles may also originate from the INTRA industrial placement. The aim of the project is to develop the students ability to carry on the planning and implementation of a project under the guidance of a staff member. Project areas include computation, construction, measurement and analysis.

Learning Outcomes
As a result of the project the student should be aware of the problems associated with independent research and should be capable of preparing a coherent reasoned report.
