The Course aim is to prepare students for working effectively individually and in teams to complete the MSc course and in preparation for their careers in industry. |
Learning Outcomes are as follows:
|
This module provides the opportunity to integrate and apply the knowledge and understanding gained in the other core modules of the programme and demonstrate the skills required of professional engineers in an industrial context.
This is by means of a group design project, which is inspired by an industrial partner and prepares students for professional practice. The project provides experience of team working whilst being assessed on an individual basis. Students will integrate their knowledge and understanding in order to specify and solve a complex engineering problem (or user need) related to tunnelling, through the creation and development of a designed infrastructure or system. The project also allows students to develop their understanding of project management, time management, ethics, sustainability and environment, health and safety and risk. Students will develop effective communication and leadership skills and are encouraged to reflect upon the skills they have and are developing.
By the end of the module a student should be able to:
- Extrapolate existing knowledge and experience and apply them in an integrated systems approach to solve a complex and unfamiliar engineering problem
- Extract and critically evaluate relevant data in order to apply engineering analysis and advanced problem solving skills, in order to complete an engineering project to the satisfaction of a customer and/or user
- Use
innovative techniques, materials or methods in delivering the project.
- Consider the
wider context of the project including, risk, ethics, environmental and sustainability limitations, intellectual property rights, codes of practice and standards, health and safety and liability, to inform the project specification (problem brief) as relevant to the project.
- Plan and
manage a project from the initial brief to a deliverable outcome
- Demonstrate
effective communication, both verbal and written,
to a technical and non-technical audience.
This module provides intensive instruction in six core domains of linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It expands substantially on concepts you were introduced to during ET118: Linguistics: Understanding Language. You will work from a wide-range of language data to develop your knowledge of findings, theories, and methodologies from these domains. You will build core disciplinary knowledge that is essential to any field of linguistic inquiry, and establish a necessary foundation for advanced linguistic research.
