Critically evaluate current practices, methods, and research and select relevant: Electrical And Electronics Engineering Dissertation, UOS, UK

Independent Study and Professional Development (IEng)

Introduction

The individual project is regarded as an important element of the specialist degree. It provides students in their final year with a challenge to identify and undertake an original and detailed study and present a major piece of relevant work to a critical and informed audience. It aims to develop the student’s power to work independently, researching in depth a topic of their choice, using relevant concepts and techniques. In this initial project report stage you need to conduct preliminary study based on your approved project proposal. This will be in the form of a literature review which shows any conflict of evidence or opinion in previous works, or the lack of specific data or opinion. Your study will fill the gap between your objectives and the literature. Any work that you intend to carry out as part of your project must be justified, in engineering terms, and the anticipated benefits calculated before carrying out the work

 Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1. Critically evaluate current practices, methods, and research and select relevant alternatives within the scope of the subject area of the course of the study.
2. Plan, design and deliver a substantial individual programme utilising project management, problem solving, research and communication skills.

The Brief:

The initial project proposal should clarify the objectives of the project, identify the work required to reach the objectives, determine the work that has already been done which can be used as a foundation for your work, divide your work into detailed logical stages with realistic completion dates set for each stage. This stage also includes the submission of the ethical form for approval. It is expected that you will be able to:

1. Statement of the problem: This section also called the “Introduction,” establishes the need for your Project. In this section, you will make assertions about the problems that have created the need for the research work that you are proposing. Also, Page 3 of 8 Sensitivity: Internal establish the problem so that when the proposed work is being discussed later, the reader is prepared. (10%)
2. Research Aims and Objectives: Be clear about the definition of Aim and Objectives. You need to clearly mention one holistic aim of the project and three to four specific objectives. (20%)
3. Literature Review: You are required to critically analyse bodies of literature in your chosen topic and include their References. It focuses on a specific topic of interest to you and includes a critical analysis of the relationship among different works, and relating their finding to your research work. It is also important to include bibliography with your submission. At this stage you should have conducted significant literature review, however this will be expanded and continued as the project progresses. (20%)
4. Scope of the project: A project scope statement should be concise and clear. Anyone reading the statement should have a good idea of what the project consists of (and what will not be part of the project). This statement will give a view of the project. It is also important to be specific in a project scope statement. (10%).
