Synopsis

Together with ECE4095 Project B, this unit is a challenging opportunity to pursue independently an individual project and is likely to require extended effort. The two units together normally include a preparatory literature survey and developmental work such as design, construction and programming. Students choose a project that interests them, and are assigned to a team of two supervising staff members.

Outcomes

After completion of this unit, students will be able to:

  • explore in greater depth a chosen field of engineering with a practical emphasis
  • demonstrate an ability to self manage and organize and to investigate and evaluate a problem of interest
  • demonstrate an ability to logically assess different alternatives and investigate prior work in the field of interest, compare and contrast such work to develop a solution to a problem of interest
  • explore the importance of self-sufficiency and self-review of efforts and outcomes
  • demonstrate skills acquired during the course of the degree in an area of interest to the student and supervisor and use the tools and equipment applicable in the chosen area with greater efficacy
  • relate findings and outcomes to a panel of review

Assessment

Panel assessment of the achievement of the student in the project, as evidenced by a presentation, a poster and a written report (100%)

Workload requirements

12 hours per week working on the project
