Foreword The Project module is a key element of your programme; it provides a unique opportunity to develop your own particular personal interests and abilities in a fashion and at a pace that suits you. It will do this by extending to you the freedom to work independently, in an area that perhaps could not readily be made available in a formal module. It also offers the chance for considerable personal development by enhancing existing skills of planning and organisation and, helping to develop new skills of a practical and methodological nature, which will stand you in good stead throughout your future career. Its benefits therefore, go far beyond the acquisition of new knowledge or work experience and will draw upon, and help you integrate your work on other modules. Thus you will be able to make an independent exploration of your chosen field without losing contact with your modular pattern of studies. Much emphasis is placed on the Project in the belief, not only that it is an important indicator of your progress on the programme, but also that it provides an invaluable learning process and is potentially a self-rewarding and fulfilling experience. It is hoped that you will find it to be so, and wish you every success in your undertaking! 2 Project 2.1 The Role of Project in this Programme The Project is an essential component of an honours degree stage. As the name implies, it provides a major opportunity for you to demonstrate your ability to work independently on an approved project largely of your own choosing. As it takes place in the final stage of your honours degree programme, you are able to apply, and further develop, the skills and knowledge you have acquired by that stage. In addition to the application of subject specific skills, and general skills such as critical analysis, objective evaluation, problem solving, formulating and testing hypotheses, you will be expected to display innovative, creative thinking and organisational skills. The Project is a double module, contributing 33% to your Level 6 grade. This weighting reflects the significance attached to the Project in your undergraduate programme. 2.2 Types of Independent Studies In the case of this programme one main type of study is recognised. (i) Project - involving substantial data collection in the field or in the laboratory, or with computer simulation. 8,000 to15,000 words including appendices. This is the type of study that is always recognised for accreditation purposes and the one that we recommend. There is, however, a second type of study which is allowed within the Module Specification, but it is not one that we recommend to you as it is inappropriate for accreditation purposes. Only in exceptional circumstances would we agree to this following type of study as a result: (ii) Dissertation - an analytical or critical presentation derived mainly from the use of published literature/data. 10,000 to 15,000 words including appendices. In all cases, you should be warned that final presentations of excessive length/size will be penalised as well as those which are insufficient in length or scale. 3. Choosing, Setting Up and Running Your Independent Study 3.1 General Advice In many respects, the challenge of the Project promises the most potentially exciting and fulfilling period of your studies because you will be in the driving seat, testing your skills and knowledge you have acquired to date in an arena that you have designated for yourself. Although a multitude of factors, play a part in achieving a good result, there are certain elements which are indispensable. These could be summarised as: Selection Planning Urgency Resource By themselves, these may not spell success, but certainly do add up to what you need to get you there. The all-important selection of a topic that is right for you; planning, self-evidently necessary in defining and achieving your aims; a sense of urgency (not to be confused with panic) driving you to consciously apply your energies to the task in hand; and resource, not only in terms of a flexible response to problems, but in identifying and making best use of the opportunities and materials available to you; these are what will spur you on to success. Remember, whether you are going for a self proposed project or for a tutor proposed project, the issues involved should be discussed initially with subject staff in the area(s) you intend to cover and latterly with your appointed supervisor(s) (you will not be expected to go it alone) but they are there merely to advise, and the final word normally lies with you. You will, therefore, have a good deal of discretion in choosing, planning and carrying your study through, although this will not be totally unrestrained. 3.2 Choosing Your Topic The selection of your Project topic is one of the most crucial decisions you will have to make in your undergraduate career. Project titles will be proposed by members of staff and provided for students to choose. The issue you examine should be selected with great care. Whilst ideas for the Project may come in a flash of inspiration, it is more likely that you will already have a rough idea of what you want to do, based perhaps on work already done during the honours degree programme. Alternatively, you may find ideas generated by discussions in your own working environment or you may wish to select a tutor proposed project (a number of project ideas will be made available for you in this respect). In the case of part-time students it is important to discuss your ideas with your organisation before you finalise your topic. A project can be of great benefit to the organisation involved and if it is seen in this way you are likely to receive far more support. It may help to regard your Project work as a progression of skills and competencies developed during the programme. In Project, there is the need to relate more specialist issues to the wider context. 3.3 Questions to be asked when choosing your topic: • Is the topic feasible, suitable and acceptable for Independent Studies? • Is the topic too broad? • Is it “do - able” within the time scale? • Will I have access to the relevant sources of information? • Is it both worth doing and of interest to me? • Are there any confidentiality problems? • Could the results be suitable for publication? If you are a part-time student you will also need to consider the following points: • Do I have my organisation’s approval? • Has my organisation allocated sufficient resources? A key requirement is that it should be possible to view the subject of Project from a perspective that forms part of your particular programme. This does not mean that you need to look for a huge topic that tries to solve all the problems of the civil engineering industry. Experience has shown that the most successful projects are those which focus their attention on a limited area of study. However, the study should not be treated from a purely specialist viewpoint, otherwise, your project will fail to meet the requirement of showing that you can integrate your studies in the context of the chosen topic. 3.4 Setting up Your Project This involves many of the same issues of planning and resourcing that need to be considered in the selection of your topic but entails dovetailing them into a coherent structure with specific goals and a timetable for their achievement. Following a presentation from the Project Co-ordinator, you will be asked to provide an outline review of the project in advance of its commencement, to allow supervisors to engage with your objectives and advise on their implementation. 3.4.1 Preparing Your Project Proposal Using the pro-forma on the next page, you will need to think about and be able to determine the following: • The aim of your study (one broad aim) • The objective(s) of your study. (may not be more than 4 objectives) • The problems you are proposing to set yourself and why. • How do you aim to achieve the objectives • The specific Learning Outcomes that are appropriate to your project – see Generic Learning Outcomes • What literary sources or individuals you need to consult. • What data you may need to collect and how you will go about this. • What other sources and facilities e.g. materials, expertise, permits, etc., will be necessary to undertake the study. • Bibliography (not less than 10 articles in the proposed area) Your completed pro-forma is to be submitted to the Project Co-ordinator. Following on from this, you will need to construct a credible timetable (NB: this will vary considerably according to the topic area and type of independent study chosen). It should set out any required deadlines of an administrative character (e.g. assessment schedules etc), and personal deadlines for such diverse things as, for example, literature searches (in consultation with the Learning Centre subject advisor), data collection, analysis and interpretation of such material, the finding and obtaining, should you need to use them, of primary sources (i.e. material and information not readily available in books, magazines or learned journals). Most important of all, where writing is concerned, allow plenty of time - you need time for critical reading and re-casting and it will all take much longer than you think it possibly could! Many of these dates may be, and often should be, subject to revision, but they will form a necessary framework for the design of your project.   STUDENT PROJECT SPECIFICATION FORM AY………. Name: Programme: Mode: Full-time / Part-time Title of Project: Brief Description: Obvious significant health/safety risks: Ethical Considerations: Technical Considerations: Learning Outcomes: (rewrite of generic learning outcomes) Resources needed: Any other information: 3.6 Running Your Independent Study Assuming that you have got the selection and planning right, this is where the urgency and resource come in. Although planning can save unnecessary effort and enables you to use your time effectively, you will need to apply an appropriate deployment of your intellectual and material resources, otherwise the result will be unsatisfactory. Never sideline the progression of your project. Nothing is more likely to result in disaster and personal anguish than a project, however well planned which has run out of time. Constantly update your progress and maintain regular contact with your supervisor. Be flexible in your approach and be prepared to correct and adjust your programme as necessary. Whenever you meet a problem that you feel you cannot resolve, discuss it with your supervisor. If you feel that you have been over ambitious, or the material or data you expected to produce or receive is not forthcoming, be prepared to make adjustments. Do not over privilege your project or project at the expense of other modules in Level 6 and your social life. Remember, no matter how brilliant your project turns out to be, you will not get more than 40 credits for it, and the allocation of time for 2 modules, however diverting, is a mere 400 hours. Now it may be reasonable to exceed this, if you feel you must, but not by so much that you have to rob time from other important activities. It is up to you to make sensible judgements here - no one else can. It is a mistake to over produce; projects are almost invariably improved by ruthless pruning. Remember, there are penalties for going seriously over specified limits. It is essential to keep to deadlines, and late submissions are not acceptable. Extensions will not be approved unless the reasons are compelling. Minor illnesses or last minute hitches are not accepted as reasons for an extension. Late submissions will be penalised. Submissions within 1 week of the submission date can only be graded at a maximum of 40%. Submissions after this date will not be marked. However, your supervisor may provide advice, but you will receive a NS grade. A worthwhile project, which is well planned and managed will be a source of great pleasure and satisfaction, and will develop not only transferable personal skills, but also a strong sense of purpose and a well justified confidence in your own abilities. 4. Supervision of your Independent Study 4.1 Roles of Co-ordinator and Supervisors Apart from your own contribution, a number of other people will be involved in the project, and it is important to be clear what their roles are. Project Co-ordinator Responsible for the co-ordination of all projects and projects and liaison between supervisors and students. All work handed in the students’ services must be submitted under his name Principal Supervisor Responsible for discussing with you the aims and feasibility of your project, offering help with reading lists and commenting on the methods of data collection. The Principal Supervisor will also advise on the choice of methods, analysis and presentation. The extent of supervision, and the academic reasons for it, will be noted by the Principal Supervisor on the First, Progress and Final Presentation Form. Second Supervisor Responsible for providing additional support. In conjunction with the Principal Supervisor, will be responsible for assessing your work, which may also be subject to review by the External Examiner appointed by the University in the most appropriate area of study for your project. Since the Project is seen primarily as an opportunity for you to work in your own way, at your own pace and using your own initiative, supervision will be kept to a minimum. However, for a variety of good educational reasons, some students will require more supervisory assistance than others to reach their full potential. Any additional help given will be noted, but does not count against you if it is academically justifiable. Normally what you can expect after the initial introductory meetings, is regular short discussions of progress and comment. For example, you could expect to get detailed critical advice on content and presentation of at least one major section of your work. 5. Assessment 5.1 Assessment Process Your two supervisors will assess your work and will assign grades to the all of the submissions independently of one another. What needs to be included in the Initial Project Proposal? Progress Report What needs to be included in the Interim Progress Report? You will need to submit a Progress Report comprising of 3000 words Finalised Aims and Objectives • Finalised Aim of the Study • Detailed Objectives usually 3-4 • These will need to be succinct realistic challenging achievable measurable and time related Draft Contents Page • Draft Contents Page • All sections shown in detail Literature Review • Literature Review from all sources (texts, journals, internet, conferences, media) • “State of the Art” – current knowledge in the field • This is a key chapter in the study and can be revised prior to final submission if new information is obtained or received Engagement with supervisor • Subject areas discussed and summary of assistance given • Evidence of meetings see attached forms Programme to Completion • Subject areas discussed and summary of assistance given Updated version of your Initial Project Proposal • Copy from the initial submission with changes clearly indicated • Words do not count towards this submission – include as an appendix This is worth 20% of the final overall mark. Poster – Draft • Aims and Objectives • Introduction • Background to the study This is worth 5% of the final overall mark. 5.3 Final Submission What needs to be included in your Final Submission? Submission of the Final presentation by the published deadline is regarded as particularly important part of the exercise. Extensions are not approved unless the reasons are compelling evidence provided and approved by the Dean. 6. Research Methodology 6.1 Methodology and Research Methods This section is concerned with the importance of being clear at an early stage which techniques you wish to employ for conducting research and obtaining knowledge. The viability of the arguments you use, the theorising of the evidence you find, and the reliability of that evidence all depend upon the methodologies you employ. You must be aware of the range of competing methodologies and are able to form an opinion as to their relative strengths and weaknesses in so far as your project or project is concerned. In the field of Civil Engineering, there are a number of appropriate forms of Primary Research: • Experimental work in laboratories using materials and data from real sites • Surveys from sites which can include data collection or measurements • Case Studies from projects already completed in the field (Must be able to compare these either with other case studies or other primary research) • Interviews with practising engineers or managers It is important to clarify these methodologies and use a combination where possible; this is simply because the final marks are allocated as 50% towards methodology and analysis. Most supervisors will suggest a number of possible approaches to research methodology and how you can found out more about them. They will also consider with you the most appropriate methods of data collection and research techniques. You will appreciate the importance of carrying out a literature research and the University Learning Centre staff will be only too glad to assist you in this undertaking. It will involve thinking of all the alternative headings that might apply to your study and checking the library stock, and all available bibliographies, periodical indexes, abstracts and catalogues; you may also be able to use on-line searching from a number of external references on separate cards in order to facilitate re-ordering and cross-referencing. Research Methodology and Technical Writing Workshop To assist you in understanding the type of research which may be suitable for your project a research methodology workshop will be held during the first week of the Autumn semester (refer to your timetable under Project) Skills required
