ENGI4111: M ENG INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

Prerequisites

• Two compatible 40 credit modules from Engineering 3A (ENGI3102), Engineering 3B (ENGI3112), Engineering 3C (ENGI3122), Engineering 3D (ENGI3132), Engineering 3E (ENGI3142), AND Engineering Applications 3A (ENGI3022) OR M Eng (overseas).

Corequisites

• M Eng Technical Project (ENGI4112) and either Maufacturing Engineering with Mangement 4D (ENGI4043) or New and Renewable Energy 4C(ENGI4033)

Excluded Combination of Modules

• Eng. 4A, 4B, 4E, 4F, 4G, (ENGI4013, ENGI4023, ENGI4053, ENGI4063, ENGI4073), M.Eng. Research and Development Project (ENGI4093).

Aims

• This module is for students intending to fulfil the requirements of the M Eng for either Manufacturing Engineering with Management or Integrated Electrical-Mechanical Engineering.
• It provides the opportunity for the student to carry out two industrial projects at Masters level, contributing to the professional skills required by practising engineers.

Content

• Technical project.

Learning Outcomes

• At the end of the year, the student should have achieved advanced skills in planning and implementing industrial investigations
• Mathematics relevant to the application of advanced engineering concepts
• Advanced or highly specialised finance, business and management techniques relevant to engineering
• The role and responsibility of a professional engineer within the context of the ethical and environmental structure in which they practice

• to specify, plan, manage, conduct and report on an engineering project
• to analyse, evaluate and interpret complex or specialised engineering data
• to apply engineering principles to the solution of problems in an industrial context
• to synthesise data from a variety of sources and apply to the solution of a particular problem
• to demonstrate an awareness of pratical engineering skills
• to observe and record accurately, data and experimental evidence both in the laboratory and in the field
• preparation and delivery of advanced technical reports
• effective preparation and delivery of technical presentations
• the competent and safe use of engineering laboratory instrumentation in an industrial situation if appropriate
• an understanding of Risk assessment and COSHH
• the application of engineering principles to the industrial design and manufacture process
• to use advanced or highly specialised computational tools and packages
• to be imaginative and innovative in the solution of technical and non-technical problems

• capacity for independednt self-learning within the bounds of professional practice
• the effective communication of advanced technical concepts (written, verbal, drawing, sketching etc.)
• highly specialised numerical skills appropriate to an engineer
• highly specialised use of information technology (IT) relevant to the engineering profession
• teamworking
• time and resource mangement
• advanced problem solving skills

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

• Two industrial projects ( students work in pairs ).
• Students develop skills in an industrial environment with an emphasis on planning and implementing industrial investigations with guidance from an industrial supervisor.
• Students are required to produce a substantial written report for each of their two projects.
• Each group makes an oral presentation in the industrial setting followed by a time for questions.
• Assessment for the two projects is equally weighted and is based upon an assessment matrix to ensure that all of the learning outcomes are addressed under the headings of teamworking, initiative and ideas, written report, understanding, achievement and oral presentation.
