This course will develop your ability to execute and deliver engineering projects in research and industry. The foundations of project management are covered: precise definition of objectives; planning, executing and monitoring projects; risk and failure analysis; and project management methodologies. Techniques for advanced engineering practice will be developed: critical review of literature and research gap analysis; data and information literacy; written, oral, and graphical communication; document preparation and version control; reproducibility, verification, and validation of engineering models. This course will also cover research ethics. Students will work in groups to develop a project plan and literature review for a research project as a precursor to the engineering honours project. |
