Design Process & Engineering Project Management UH111011

This module examines the various aspects of managing an engineering design project and utilises them in the context of execution of a design scenario which encourages students to work as a team on a project outside their normal area of expertise.

 

Engineering Dissertation UH111012

This module aims to provide students with an opportunity to undertake a sustained, rigorous and independent investigation of some aspect of engineering pertinent to their area of specialisation.  The dissertation must consist of original work.  It should be informed by the theoretical and practical knowledge and expertise which the student will have developed through the taught modules and/or previous experience as well as research into existing literature applicable to the field.    The resulting dissertation should be comprised of original work  and not only present and interpret research findings, but also critically evaluate the research design and methodology employed and identify the outcomes of the research in terms of actual or planned developments and changes.

 

Materials and Structures UH211693

This module will critically evaluate the materials used in civil engineering projects and structures analysing structural stability. Critically evaluating the performance of materials and assessing their suitability in a variety of structural ad loading conditions.

 

Quantitative Research Methods and Data Analysis UX311001

The module will provide students with the opportunity to explore a variety of quantitative and statistical techniques for the successful design and methodology of research studies, including data collection, data analysis and results, to a publishable standard.  Included in this will be the examination of how to administer survey data, software skills and experimental techniques.

 

Renewable Energy Technologies UF811992

The module aims to develop the ability to critically evaluate energy needs and different renewable energy technologies as well as the decisions about which technology or technologies should be adopted for what purpose and at what scale (local, regional or national). As part of that critical evaluation students will be expected to understand how resource assessment can be undertaken and the economic case for different technologies may depend on scale and on geography as well as on the technology itself.
