This unit develops students' ability to think independently and allows students to build upon and further develop and apply their creativity, skills and knowledge gained from prior studies. The students will plan and implement a comprehensive study in their project through research, project definition, problem setting and evaluation with sensible conclusions and recommendations.  They are required to emphasis on a topic which sufficiently reflects on their Civil Engineering course being studied with guidance from academic staff.

The aims of the project are

• To demonstrate current understanding of some specialist areas in depth

• To enable the student to work autonomously on a sustained piece of work appropriate to the programme being studied

• To develop student's ability to fully manage a project whilst synthesising  ideas or information to generate novel solutions

• To achieve a body of work or practice that is coherent and resolved.

 Specific objectives of the project are

• To enable the student to choose a project of interest from a predefined set generated by members of academic staff, or negotiate a suitable topic individually

• To be able to identify the possibility of new concepts within existing knowledge frameworks and approaches

• To enable the student to work within the set specification to satisfy the academic and/or industry requirements

• To enable the student to manage a sustained piece of work and monitor
