The MEng Group Project is a multi-disciplinary team project where you will take on an engineering challenge of industrial interest.
Your team will need to specify, design, construct, manufacture, test and/or commission an engineering system, product, or process.
Your team must meet specifications, targets, milestones, report and presentation deadlines within a set budget. You’ll apply scientific, technological, engineering and project management principles.
The module is designed to give you an holistic understanding of system design and experience in team-working through a mock industrial environment.
