Project Overview and Guidance:Students are provided with a comprehensive project guidelines document and meet with the module leader before beginning the project. They propose their own project topics, typically in consultation with a supervisor (either from the university or the industry). The nature of the project will vary based on the course and the student’s interests. Once the project booklet and brief are issued, students take full ownership of their projects, which includes developing a detailed time plan and regularly reflecting on their progress. An essential part of the process is maintaining a logbook, which serves as both a project log and a reflective learning tool. During regular meetings with the project supervisor, students use the logbook to track their personal development and progress (PDP).Embedding Employability, PDP, and Scholarship Skills:Efforts are made to align individual projects with real-life industry scenarios. This approach provides an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their research skills and learn how to implement their ideas in practice, further developing their employability and scholarly abilities.Assessment (Formative and Summative):Assessment is based on three main components: (a) a final report and demonstration of engineering practice, (b) the learning log (logbook), and (c) an oral presentation. Detailed assessment criteria are outlined in the project guidelines. Project progress is monitored regularly, with students receiving ongoing feedback from both the project supervisor and a project panel.Research/Teaching Linkages:Where possible, projects are aligned with the supervisor's research area, and some projects are industry-based with joint supervision between academic staff and industry professionals. This fosters a strong connection between academic learning and practical industry experience.Supporting Equality and Diversity:The module takes individual student requirements into account, ensuring that all students, including those who are disabled or international, receive the necessary support to succeed.Internationalisation:The module incorporates international symbols and standards, and many academic staff are involved in global collaborations, offering students an opportunity to engage with international perspectives and practices.
