Synopsis

The  project is intended to apply the student's total formal knowledge
to  a  real problem.  In this sense it will test the ability to define
and  analyse the problem, to develop solutions to the problem, to make
the  necessary decisions, convert ideas into hardware and to cope with
the  unexpected problems encountered in testing.  All of this must  be
accomplished  against a tight timescale.  In short, the project  is  a
good test of overall engineering ability.

The   Honours   Project   goes   beyond  straightforward   engineering
application  and  requires  the ability to seek  and  find  innovative
solutions  to non standard problems.  Such a project will  demonstrate
an ability to contribute to the engineering profession at a high level
and  will  also provide an introduction to the research  dimension  of
engineering practice.
