Overview
Module aims and purpose
This project is for students on the MEng Biomedical Engineering. The module aims to provide the framework for a group of students to manage a major piece of group project work in a professional manner in their subject area, yet with individual assessment. Students will - demonstrate initiative and creativity in applying their skills and knowledge and experience gained from previous work in a practical, problem solving project, work with uncertainty, develop generic, project related skills including those of project management, team working, written and verbal communication, and system presentation and demonstration - gain experience of managing a project and delivering a solution to a potential customer/supervisor as realistically as possible in an academic context.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Identify, research and synthesise literature relevant to the problem
- Apply relevant techniques to systematically design a solution to a problem
- Implement and/or build a suitable solution, with systematic test and evaluation
- Understand and plan their role, and the use of their work in the team, critically appraising and reflecting on their own work
- Develop a professional approach to record keeping and log-book maintenance which in turn enhances the student鈥檚 ability to maintain a professional development record
- Demonstrate competence in producing a professional standard project report, reporting effectively on what has been achieved and the extent to which the objectives of the project has been reached
Module content
The ability to work in collaboration has been identified by the Engineering council as an important skill that should be taught during undergraduate education in engineering. The module will fulfil this goal which is often a requirement for engineering accreditation.聽
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
Students will be allocated a project supervisory team per group. There will be regular meetings with the academic supervisory team. The onus of this module is on both independent work, i.e., individuals contributing to group endeavour; and the operation of the whole group. Contact will be as a whole class, groups, and individual as necessary. Students will normally be expected to spend at least 800 hours on their project work.聽
Study hours
At least 25 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Please note the independent study hours above are notional numbers of hours; each student will approach studying in different ways. We would advise you to reflect on your learning and the number of hours you are allocating to these tasks.
Semester 1 The hours in this column may include hours during the Christmas holiday period.
Semester 2 The hours in this column may include hours during the Easter holiday period.
Summer The hours in this column will take place during the summer holidays and may be at the start and/or end of the module.
Assessment
Requirements for a pass
Students need to achieve an overall module mark of 50% to pass this module.
Summative assessment
Type of assessment | Detail of assessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of assessment | Submission date | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Written coursework assignment | Project Initiation Document | 10 | 8 pages max | Semester 1, Teaching Week 7 | A Project Initiation Document (PID) describing the nature of the project and the expected contribution of the student to the group project. The PID should cover proposed solutions, work breakdown, Gantt chart(s), projected costs, how the individual's contribution fits into the whole project and should be supported by a literature survey. |
Oral assessment | Individual progress review | 10 | Demonstration / presentation of work achieved by individual to date. | ||
Oral assessment | Group presentation | 10 | Semester 2, Teaching Week 11 | ||
Capstone project | Individual report | 70 | Approximately 40 to 50 pages | Semester 2, Assessment Week 3 | Detailing the student's individual contribution to the project, with careful attention to the literature, design process, results and conclusions. |
Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
During project meetings, there will be opportunities to discuss methods and to receive feedback from peers and the supervisory team.聽
