BEE4201 Engineering Project
Course Unit Title
Course Unit Description
The individual project is a key element in the final year of undergraduate study. The project is a major individual piece of work, integrating various aspects from other modules within the study program. The whole process from topic selection up to project completion is regarded as an essential experience in the student’s study. It requires a range of academic skills and disciplines that are not possible to assess, to the same extent, in other parts of the course. It provides a unique opportunity to examine a program related theory, concept, technology or problem to a depth not usually possible in the taught modules. The project helps to further develop basic investigative, organizational and communication skills used previously within the course of study, and acts as an individual area of intellectual focus.
Every project should produce an identified output or product, which must be clearly described in the report. The kind of output will depend on the actual project a student is undertaking. In general, the output should be fulfilling some agreed purpose against which its fitness can be judged.
Learning Outcomes
Students will be to:
- apply their knowledge and implementation skills in the project area of computer Engineering, and apply this to an advanced and specific project topic in that area.
- deepen their knowledge of the project’s area through undertaking the project.
- learn any specific technical skills required by their topic, and apply them to the project work.
- learn relevant project-related skills, including project management and oral and written communication, and apply these to project work.
