Synopsis

The  project  is  normally undertaken during the  final  year  of  the
student's  course  and  it  is intended to  consolidate  the  material
presented in the course and develop students' self confidence in their
ability  to apply that to real situations. The project may cover  such
activities  as  design;  investigation;  testing;  construction;   and
evaluation.

Project  work in areas such as maintenance and engineering  management
will also be appropriate. General guidance (but not direction) will be
provided  by a staff member appointed as supervisor and (for  external
students) an advisor in their place of employment, if available.

Every  project  must be approved by the examiner before  commencement.
The  student will then plan, execute and document the work within  the
time  and  resource constraints available. Assessment  may  include  a
demonstration  of hardware, but will always include a project  report,
an assessed copy of which will be returned to the student.
