Overview
Every student is allocated an individual engineering project, which is supervised by a member of the academic staff from both institutions. The project will normally be in the student's area of professional interest. Projects are of wide variety: theoretical, computational, design, experimental, review and field work. In all cases aspects of project planning, written and oral communication are included.
Structure
No formal teaching. Students are expected to progress with the course by directed and self-directed study, self learning development, and interactions and exchanges with supervisors. Informal teaching is given via regular meetings/emails with supervisors from both institutions.
Assessment
1st Attempt: in-course assessment: TContinuous assessment (100%). This comprises: thesis (70%); institution report from the host institution concerning the conduct of the project (15%) oral presentation (15%).
Resit: None.
Formative Assessment
Students may submit a draft table of contents and the draft of one chapter of the thesis to the supervisor for comment. Students may also discuss technical and style aspects with the supervisor. They may also seek advice on the oral presentation.
Feedback
Students can receive individual feedback on their progress with the course on request at the weekly meetings with supervisor/feedback sessions. Students requiring individual feedback on their submitted thesis and/or oral presentation should make an appointment within 2 weeks of the publication of their results.
