Projects
Industrial Placement Report
Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of the contribution of research to their professional and personal development through the industrial placement report. This also contributes towards professional development.
Individual Research Project Portfolio
This provides students with the opportunity, whilst working under academic supervision, to develop and demonstrate independent research skills. This element of the course includes research planning, the refinement of objectives, organisation and initiative in the completion of data generation and gathering, analysis, synthesis, and the discussion and presentation of results and conclusions.
Group Design Project
The group projects are a multidisciplinary team-based activity. Students are given the initial aims and objectives of the projects and have to design a solution and specification for water treatment plants.
