MSc Project (Robotics and Autonomous Systems) (876H1)
60 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
All year
This module is designed to expose you to a real-life engineering problem, to which you can apply the skills and knowledge you have acquired in the areas of robotics, mechatronics or autonomous systems.
Your work must be completed within budget, using available resources, by a specified deadline – and presented to an audience that isn’t necessarily directly familiar with the work undertaken.
The project requires a holistic approach that brings together what you learn and the engineering skills you develop on your course.
Your project will demand individual responsibility, critical awareness and creative thinking. It involves working as an individual on a particular area of activity relevant to the course, with the goal of meeting a specific set of objectives, supervised by a member of faculty.
The specific objectives depend on the nature of your project. However, it is typical for a project to involve:
- specification
- development of concepts
- detailed design
- hardware and/or software implementation
- testing
- analysis
- evaluation
- documentation
- communication
- project management
- resourcing
- planning
- scheduling.
