Undergraduate Project Work —in full‐time and sandwich courses in Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

A SHORT DEFINITION of undergraduate project work might be ‘work of a special nature outside the normal curriculum of an undergraduate course’. This sort of definition covers all tasks of a special nature at any stage or in any part of a course. It is perfectly legitimate to consider work so defined in the first year of a course, the final year, and so on as project work, but the trouble with a wide definition, is that it can be too wide, so that special work in Liberal Studies and other subjects might be thought to be included. The intention here is to consider only projects of an engineering nature.
