    ALLOCATION
    PROCESS
    Project Allocation
     A list of projects and project descriptions are available on the
    Student SP Site (SSPS).
     Students should use Mon-Fri (Week 1) to speak with
    supervisors and decide on their project preferences.
     Project preferences are submitted via SSPS form by the
    advised deadline (Monday 10AM).
     Projects will be allocated to students in order of academic
    rank, but will also take account of staff workload.
     Project allocations will be circulated by email and posted on
    QOL as soon as possible (Week 2).
    OPERATION
    Project Operation
     Your Project Description:
     outlines the issue(s) to be addressed
     provides a guideline methodology
     articulates the deliverables

     The student will:


     Work independently, with guidance from the supervisor
     Allocate an appropriate amount of time to complete the work
     Plan and manage the work to meet the deliverables
     Meet regularly with the project supervisor
     Communicate the outcomes through the assessed elements.
    Project Supervisors
     Arrange a meeting with your new supervisor asap after
    project allocation.
     At the first meeting, arrange a regular time for a weekly
    meeting.
     Academic staff have extensive commitments so may not
    be able to meet every week, but you should meet with
    them at least once per fortnight and may have to be
    flexible with the meeting time on occasions.
     Supervisors are not there to do the project. They are
    there to get you started and offer guidance on the way
    through. Students must take the initiative in the project.
    Meeting Records
     Students are expected to maintain records of their
    meetings with supervisors.
     These act as a reminder for the decisions made and the
    actions agreed, and also act as evidence of your
    engagement with the project.
     A template is provided on QOL. This should be typed up
    after the meeting and given to your supervisor at the
    next meeting.
     Academic staff may be supervising many projects, so
    these records are an invaluable aid to them also.
     Copies of the meeting records are submitted as an
    appendix in the final report.
    Assessment
     MEE4040/AER4002

    Health & Safety
     Projects will have different levels of risk associated with them.
    Therefore all project work will be subject to a risk assessment.
     Generic risk assessments and briefing may be adequate for some
    projects, while others may require bespoke risk assessment
     A risk assessment must be completed before commencing any work
    in labs.
     Any change in activities during the project will require the
    initial risk assessment to be reviewed.
     DO NOT engage in any activity that has not be risk assessed
    or any activity that you do not feel comfortable with.
     It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure your own safety
    and the safety of those around you.
    Final Notes
     Late submission
     Will be penalised at the rate of 5% per working day late
     More than 5 working days late will receive a mark of zero.
     For cases of Exceptional Circumstances please arrange a meeting
    with your AoS for guidance

     Plagiarism
     Both inadvertent and deliberate plagiarism are punishable
     Avoid inadvertent plagiarism by learning how to cite others’ work
    correctly.
     Students will be required to submit a Turnitin authenticity summary
    with final report submissions.
     In the run up to submission of the final report detailed instructions
    for this will be issued via email.
    Supplementary Professional Skills
    Lecture Series
     A lecture series will be delivered as part of the final year
    project modules (AER4002, MEE3030 and MEE4040) to
    provide students with guidance on a number of relevant
    topics.
     There will be a mixture of online and ‘live’
    lectures. Students are strongly encouraged to
    review lecture materials and to attend lectures.

    available online materials by email in advance of each
