Individual Project

Module Facts

Run by School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering

30.000 Credits or 15.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 1 & 2

Organiser: Dr Yanhua Hong

Overall aims and purpose

To allow students to:

  • pursue an in-depth study of a topic/area relevant to their programme.
  • apply an appropriate process/methodology to designing, implementing/building and evaluating their solution.
  • explore and understand the wider impact of their work, including pertinent professional, ethical, social, technological, legal, and environmental aspects.
  • convey the results of their work, using a variety of media, to a varied audience within their field.

Course content

Project topics are varied and specific to the discipline. Students are able to select their own in consultation with academic staff.

Electronic Engineering examples include communication systems, sensors, optoelectronics, polymer electronics, bioelectronics, signal processing, real time systems, distributed networks, robotics, and control systems.

Computer Science examples include databases, data analysis, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, gaming, virtual environments, computer vision, visualisation, and pattern recognition.

Assessment Criteria

good

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.

excellent

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

threshold

Equivalent to 40%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

Learning outcomes

  1. Select, apply and explain an appropriate research method for the chosen project.

  2. Exercise self-management and discipline to achieve the goal within the project constraints.

  3. Construct/develop a suitable solution to underlying an problem or research questions.

  4. Communicate findings of their work, including summarising related works, to academics, peers and the wider community.
