Assessment
Type of Assessment	Weighting %	LOs covered	Week due	Length in Hours/Words	Description
Dissertation	60	2~3~4~5	Week 13	, WORDS= 10,000 words	In this assessment report, students must demonstrate their attainment of the following learning outcomes.1. Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering. (M1)2. Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed. (M2) 3. Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems. (M4) Assessment Length- 10,000 words or 80 pages or equivalent.
