Private study

Private study will be undertaken by the student in order to understand the practical application for which the design will be focussed. This will take the form of basic scientific understanding from library textbooks in various subject areas and detailed specific learning from published research articles through the librarys on-line resources. The student will be required to conduct their own background review of the literature and to interpret this with an engineering perspective.
