ENM400 Final Year Project is a compulsory module taken in the final year of the Industrial Engineering undergraduate programme. The module is delivered in the spring term, carrying 6 ECTS credits, and aims to enable students to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they have acquired throughout their undergraduate studies to a real-world engineering problem. The module is delivered face-to-face.
As part of this course, students, under the supervision of a academic staff member, identify a current industrial engineering topic and carry out a comprehensive study. Throughout the process, they first conduct a literature review, define the problem and select appropriate analysis and modelling methods. They then apply the developed solution methods, evaluate the results obtained and prepare an academic report and an oral presentation.
The Final Year Project aims to develop not only students’ technical knowledge and skills but also their competencies in conducting research, analytical thinking, problem-solving, scientific reporting and preparing effective presentations. For this reason, the course is one of the fundamental final-year projects that enables students to gain valuable experience as they transition into academic life or professional practice.
