Review of Module Assessed Content
Scenario
You are continuing to work as a junior project engineer for an International Engineering
Company that has a range of global manufacturing operations. You will remember that your
manager has asked you to carry out a detailed research project to assess the company's
operations in a specific area of mechanical engineering that will be reported to the Board of
Directors. This included the historical and current perspective of the area under review to make
sure it meets the company's requirements for their future operations. In addition, you were
asked to develop proposals for future research and development in this area. The company
would like to bench mark itself against other operators in this field, so you were also asked to
include an analysis of case studies with respect to your research.
Note: The project will take the form of three assignments that include two presentations
outlining your project goals.
Assignment 1: This report will cover the design of the research project such that you will put
forward your proposal to ensure that it meets the company's requirements. In addition, the
project proposal will form the basis of a five-minute presentation to your line manager.
Assignment 2: This report will cover the implementation and completion of the project
deliverables.
Please note the following: Whether the assignment is individual or group work, you must NOT
engage in plagiarism in writing it. Plagiarism is deliberately or carelessly passing off another's work
as your own and includes copying the words, ideas or research results of another without
acknowledging the author as a source. It is plagiarism, therefore, to copy the work of another student,
or of a member of staff, or a published article or book without crediting the author. Acknowledging
(crediting) a source requires more than an entry in your bibliography at the end of your work – it
requires proper referencing or annotation (use of footnote or endnote) giving the author, title of the
work (book or article), title of journal, date and page numbers(s) at which the reader can find what you
are referring to. If you quote someone verbatim, quotation marks are required and the text should
normally be italicised.
Assignment 2
The following tasks are required to be completed to meet the learning outcomes of this module.
Task 1:
For this task you are required to continue to maintain your project plan. It is important that the
initial time lines are adopted to ensure that the completed project can be presented to the Board
of Directors at their annual meeting in March 2017.
Continue to include the various activities derived from the project implementation including
identified timelines, milestones and resources for each activity. Use your Gantt chart to clearly
identify concurrent and consecutive activities.
Task 2:
For this task you are required to submit the bulk of your research project report that should be
completed to the agreed specification. You should ensure that the report is well organised,
containing the appropriate level of analysis with respect to the relevant agreed outcomes. The
report will form the basis of your final presentation to the Board of Directors.
Task 3
design activities that have been undertaken to meet the project goals.
