Module summary
Contents:- Work on projects (either individually or in a small team)- Special lectures pertaining to project tasks, if requiredRealization: The project work will be carried out by students (individually or in a small team) closely supervised by senior researchers. The project work may involve analytical and/experimental approaches and techniques. Some specialized lectures may also be organized depending on the nature of projects being carried out, if needed.Objectives
On completion of this module students will be able to:Systematically retrieve, review and utilize the previously published research work in designing lubricated contacts
Select and learn appropriate experimental/analytical techniques in the design, analysis and optimization of lubricated contacts
Select lubricant, materials and surface modification techniques
Learning outcomes
1: Understand the significance of tribology in the design of lubricated contacts
2: To apply the available tribological knowledge, models and experimental techniques in the analysis, design and optimization of lubricated contacts.
3: To create new tribological knowledge, obtain new data, mechanisms maps, models or simulative techniques that enable in analysis, design and optimisation of lubricated contacts.
4. Obtain new data, develop mechanisms maps, models or simulative techniques that enable in analysis, design and optimization of lubricated contacts
Skills outcomes
Fundamental knowledge of mechanical engineering, materials science and technology, physics, mathematics and machine elements.
Syllabus
This course is essentially ‘project work’ based and its contents include work on projects (either individually or in a small team). Some special lectures pertaining to project tasks may be considered depending on the nature of projects.
This is an advanced project based course of the TRIBOS master programme. It will enable students to utilize their learning from various courses in TRIBOS in independently undertaking tribology related R&D projects and prepare them to carry out their MSc thesis work successfully.

Private study
The project work will be carried out by students (individually or in a small team) closely supervised by senior researchers. The project work may involve analytical and/experimental approaches and techniques. Some special lectures may also be organized depending on the nature of projects being carried out, if needed. The student will be evaluated based on the following:Interim assessment (presentation)
Final presentation of project results and discussion
Extent and quality of the work accomplished as is evidenced from the written report
Assessment by the supervisors
Opportunities for Formative Feedback
The student will meet regularly with the supervisor.Methods of assessment
Coursework
| Assessment type | Notes | % of formal assessment |
| Report | Project | 80.00 |
| Poster Presentation | Final | 20.00 |
| Total percentage (Assessment Coursework) | 100.00 | |
Normally resits will be assessed by the same methodology as the first attempt, unless otherwise stated
