The aim of this module is to develop a learner’s ability to successfully complete an engineering project with significant technical and intellectual challenges. The project enables the learner to integrate previously gained skills and knowledge in a project. It also develops in the learner the confidence to apply their engineering skills to a complex problem without a fixed solution. The module provides the learner with the experience of taking ‘ownership’ of a project.
Typically, the project undertaken by the learner is one of the following types:
- Investigation and analysis
- Design and development
- Feasibility study
- Software design and development
- Process development and improvement
