| Description:
| Aims: To plan, conduct and complete an experimental, literature-based or theoretical/computational project using academic research facilities in the Department. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit students should be able to: * Acquire and critically review technical information on a chemical engineering subject; * Produce a working programme for the project and carry out their research according to this programme; * Critically discuss the results generated during the project, evaluate these results in the context of the literature data available; * Summarise the main project results and suggest directions for further work on the subject; * Produce a professional report and poster on their project. Skills: Acquisition and critical review of technical information on a subject; laboratory practice and data analysis, advanced experimental and/or computational skills; skills in tackling unresolved scientific and/or engineering problems, report writing; presentation skills. Facilitated/taught and assessed. Content: * After allocation of the projects (semester 1) students must meet their supervisor/s to discuss the project objectives and make necessary arrangements concerning their practical work in semester 2. * During the initial project stage in semester 2, students must undertake the necessary background reading, prepare necessary materials, carry out appropriate safety assessments and devise a work programme. At the end of this stage (two weeks) a short preliminary report summarising this work must be submitted to the project supervisor. * During the second stage of the project, students will carry out research according to their work programme in consultation with their supervisor/s. To complete the work on the project, students will need to produce and submit a detailed report. The final requirement is a poster presentation based on the project. * Tutorial guidance on how to acquire and review technical information on a chemical engineering subject. Information will cover the background, current status, context and possible future developments of the subject. * Tutorial guidance on how to prepare a professional report. |
