| Summary | The M.Eng. Electronics and Electrical Engineering project is a substantial piece of practical research, or industrial design, which will give the student experience in applying knowledge and understanding gained in earlier study, as well as increasing the student's competence in a particular area of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The objective output of a project is a novel design, or empirical knowledge, the extent of attainment of which forms part of the overall assessment. However, skills and attitudes appropriate to the professional engineer, developed in pursuit of the objective output, are just as important and are given corresponding weight in the assessment. The project will be structured into two phases, with two defined work packages but the two phases are closely and integrally related. Each phase appears as a separate course.

Learning Outcomes
| On successful completion of the project a student should be able to: plan a project, by formulating objectives and a time schedule, identifying milestones, deliverables, constraints and the resources needed; manage a project, by working to the plan, keeping comprehensive records and exercising time management; identify sources of information and carry out an information search by selecting, collating and evaluating information from a variety of sources; write a clear, well-presented report, containing critical assessment of the project work and setting it in context; in a viva voce exam, describe, explain, discuss, support and critically appraise aspects of their project.
