The student conducts the research proposed in Part A, which may include experimental or numerical studies. The collected data is then discussed and analysed. Based on the research findings, the student draws conclusions, offers recommendations for future studies, and presents their research outcomes in a poster.

Working on technical industry projects provides invaluable experience to you both at technical design level as well practicing important skills in teamwork, stakeholder engagement, scoping and project management. In this subject you will either work externally as an engineering capacity in a technical work placement, or will work internally in project teams on a design project set by industry or a research laboratory. EMS5WLB builds on work achieved in EMS5WLA, together forming a 60CP capstone experience, which includes a major technical report.
