![]() | Aims: To provide: * An understanding of the approach to undertaking focussed background research work, and to familiarise students with the methods and techniques used in engineering research and design projects. * To build up domain knowledge in the area of the specific project. * To develop a thorough understanding of current practice and its limitations. * To start the appreciation and anticipation of the new developments and their implications. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of the unit the student will have: * Acquired, analysed and processed data from a variety of sources. * Analysed patents, market data, experimental data, research literature, competitor products and make state of the art predictions and benchmarks. * Produced succinct topic specific research reports, design files, briefing reports. * Shown sound judgement and initiative in the initial stages of undertaking an engineering project. * Produced a project plan. Skills: Multi source data and information analysis, data and information synthesis, problem analysis, written communication; working independently, project scoping and planning. Content: Philosophy of the research process. Surveying prior research. Students will undertake project scoping activity, leading up to full time individual project activity during the summer period.
