Description	This module involves the student undertaking an industrially-focussed research project which includes the following: Carrying out an independent study, focused on a specific chosen research topic and demonstrating the ability to produce original and innovative work by analysing information critically and comparing it with the current state of knowledge in this particular topic. The project will involve a literature review; methodology; collation of data; analysis; presentation of results; discussion and conclusions. The project must have at least one of the following elements: laboratory testing, modelling, surveys, state-of-the-art information gathering and field testing. Students will carry out the project under joint supervision of their industrial supervisor and an academic tutor.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Use the available resources to carry out appropriate investigations on a chosen topic to produce original work that includes a clear element of research, demonstrating understanding and application of the principles of research methods, where appropriate in the context of the industrial setting. Synthesise the major themes from the taught modules of study in a systems-integration approach to prepare a report at professional standards. Independently plan a period of research and manage their time accordingly.
