The Project, (consisting of BEng (Hons) Energy Project 1 and BEng (Hons) Energy Project 2) is largely a self-learning process and students are expected to use the knowledge they have gained during their attendance at lectures, labs tutorials as well as that information gained using a good research strategy. The project supervisor is expected to provide support and advice for the project student during the allocated supervision time. The main role of the supervisor is to “guide” the project on a weekly basis and students are strongly advised to use project meetings in an effective manner by outlining problems, presenting experimental results and prepared questions. Students are strongly advised to follow advice from their supervisors and maintain regular contact throughout the project.
