TECH890: Industrial Project-Part 1
The Industrial Project is a major core component of the MTech degree and one of its distinguishing features. The Industrial Project is jointly supervised by an Industry Supervisor, nominated by the candidate's employer for approval by the MTech Committee, and an Academic Supervisor appointed by the University. The work to be completed as the Industrial Project is to be approved by the MTech Committee acting on the advice of the Academic Supervisor and the Industry Supervisor.
For administration purposes, the Industrial Project is formally listed as two units, TECH890 and TECH891, each of equal weight (8 credit points for each). TECH890 is a prerequisite for TECH891. The work in the two units may be continuous or entirely separate depending on the nature of what has been approved. Arranging the project work within these two subject classifications will be a matter for discussion between the Industry Supervisor, the Academic Supervisor and the candidate. The units can only be attempted once credit has been gained for at least two units of the postgraduate coursework prescribed for the MTech degree. Each unit is assessed on the basis of a written report, presented in the style of a technical report by a professional to the management of an organisation.
This unit consists entirely of project work of which a substantial part is undertaken at the place of employment of the candidate. Candidates are encouraged to nominate their own project.
