| DESCRIPTION | The research project in Systems and Control Engineering requires the student to methodically address an open-ended problem for which the aims and objectives are defined by the project supervisor prior to the commencement of the project and carried out in a structured way. Progress will be monitored by the project supervisor. The type of work produced, design, experiments, simulation, analysis etc will depend on the project specification and constitutes a defined subset within the area of signals, systems and control. Towards the end of the year the student will submit a dissertation not exceeding 25,000 words. Study-Unit Aims The aims of this study-unit are for the student to address a set task in the area of signals, systems and control. The student will apply various skills of analysis and synthesis learned throughout the course, as well as relevant theories, to address the task at hand through a project of work that may include data acquisition, experimentation, simulation, design, testing, analysis and development of hardware and/or software devices. Through this project students will learn to plan their investigation, collect data depending on the nature of the project, manage resources, communicate effectively with the supervisor and enhance their presentation and report-writing skills. Learning Outcomes 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - address an engineering problem in the area of signals, systems and control in a structured and well-defined manner as demanded by the relevant engineering methodologies; - develop superior knowledge and provide explanations on the specific problem domain captured by the project. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - describe the work performed during the project in a scientific manner by means of a dissertation; - analyze critically and discuss research papers; - analyze and design engineering systems related to signals, systems and control; - deliver technical presentations on the work performed. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings Supplementary Readings: Research papers and texts as indicated by the project supervisor. |
