The following table contains various undergraduate project specifications from 2004, a long time before remodularisation! They are the specifications that informed the setting, vetting and selection of projects which are currently (academic year 2011-12) underway. They should not be used when setting, vetting or selecting projects which start in Oct 2012.
| Designation | Project | Taken by | Credits | Level | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CS | PR3 | 3X | 40 | H | Lifecycle |
| CS/M | PR3 | 3M, 3N | 40 | H | General:Maths |
| MMath | PR4 | 4N | 40 | M | General:Maths |
| MEng | PR5 | 4Y | 50 | M | General or lifecycle |
For Masters level projects consult also the Masters level project descriptors.
The Categories are summarised as follows:
| Category | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Lifecycle | BCS/IEE accreditation requires a project that: follows a lifecycle that can be characterised as requirements-design-build-evaluate; describes and evaluates the method(s) used to design, build and evaluate. These projects do not have to be traditional engineering, but must have, describe, and evaluate a recognised method. All lifecycle projects should aim to build or implement something, and to evaluate its quality and reliability etc. However, for the role of mathematical artefacts please read this document on Life Cycle Projects and Mathematical Artefacts (Word document). |
| General | The course is not BCS/IEE accredited, so research,
literature-review and other non-lifecycle projects are permitted; all projects must have a designated method or approach, explained in the report; lifecycle projects of the appropriate level are also applicable. |
| General:Maths | as for General; Projects relating computing and mathematics are particularly appropriate. |
