A fire engineering project to be undertaken within one of the Departments of Engineering.
The project is very different to other courses in the fire engineering programme. It is not based on formal lectures, laboratories and tutorials, but instead allows the student to explore a problem that interests them under supervision of an academic. the project is a compulsory component of the MEngSt (Fire) programme and is an individual two-semester-long research exercise.
The fire engineering project is designed to provide students with an opportunity to:- understake a substantial and challenging fire engineering project,- develop independent research and problem solving skills- derive an appropriate methodology for the chosen problem- individually plan, perform and sliver, within project and budget constaints- analyse and interpret data from literature, survey or experimental work and- sharpen communication skills through the writing of a project report, writing a conference paper and through an oral presentation to peers
Subject to approval of the Director of Studies.
Offered in block mode in 2014 and 2015.
