| Summary | This course (ELEE11095) is the first phase of a project which runs in the summer between 4th year and 5th year of the MEng degrees in E&EE and E&CS. It will be a placement at a company or other institution and will continue into the 1st semester of 5th year (Phase Two). When choosing courses you should only select this course if you have a confirmed placement with an external organisation. If you do NOT have a confirmed placement you should select the course MEng Electronics and Electrical Engineering Project Phase One (Internal) ELEE11091. |
| Course description |
The MEng project in the discipline of Electronics and Electrical Engineering 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, with Phase One part of the 4th year of the degree and Phase Two as part of the 5th year. Typically Phase One involves initial research into the project topic with early stages of design and planning of Phase Two.
