The precise learning outcomes will depend on the individual project. In general, on successful completion of the project, the student will have the ability to:
1. Demonstrate an advanced knowledge and understanding of a specialised multidisciplinary field.
2. Conduct a comprehensive, critical review of the literature and knowledge at the forefront of the field.
3. Identify a new electrical energy / power systems engineering problem, taking account of current knowledge and debate.
4. Design an appropriate engineering solution to address the problem; develop and execute a project research plan.
5. Apply specialised knowledge to implement solutions and generate new insights through design, analysis, mathematical modelling and/or experimentation.
6. Develop new tools and techniques to solve engineering problems.
7. Analyse and interpret complex project outcomes and results, and discuss critically.
8. Formulate conclusions while taking account of the wider technical, professional and social context.
9. Communicate project conclusions, and the rationale underpinning them, effectively to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, verbally and in writing.
10. Collaborate with supervisor, co-workers and/or support staff to achieve a technical solution.
11. Continue to learn in a self-directed, autonomous manner.
