Description The purpose of this module is for students to consider and plan a possible final year project. Ideally students will propose a project related to their Intra placement. The project should be a company identified need that can largely be worked on while off-site during the 5th year of studies in DCU. The proposal will be reviewed and agreed by the company and the Intra tutor /DCU academic member of staff. If this is not possible students will propose a project based on support from their Intra tutor. The proposal will consist of title, aims and a thorough background including literature survey. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
