Electrical Design, EE459 Electrical Design
Instruction: supervision of thesis
Assessment: thesislpresentationslseminar
attendance
A final-year subject undertaken by all fifth year students, for
one semester, in the degree of Bachelor of Engineering
(Electrical).
Subject aims
To give each student the experience of completing a project,
including the testing, evaluation and reporting phases of the
design process.
Subject description
Each student will be required to nominate a project topic
and to negotiate an acceptable specification for the work
with a member of staff who shall be the supervisor of the
project.
The topic for the project may either be selected from a list
of suitable topics proposed by staff memben, or be
nominated by the student, provided that a staff member is
prepared to supervise the topic. It is expected that the
majority of students will continue with the topic chosen in
fourth year in the prerequisite subject.
