This module is the final placement module that you will undertake. During your time in placement you will be supported to apply the knowledge and understanding that you have developed throughout your programme as you transition into your role as a Registered Nurse.

The individual project gives students the opportunity to gain both detailed knowledge and practical experience in a more focussed area than generally possible elsewhere in their degree programme.

Most projects are in the nature of a challenging engineering exercise in which there is scope for flair and originality. Typically, the result of the project will be some demonstrable software and/or hardwaretogether with the supporting final report.

Most projects are in the nature of a challenging engineering exercise in which there is scope for flair and originality.

Phase 1 of the Individual Project provides an initial development and exploration framework for students, allowing them to explore the context of their project including elements beyond the technical, develop a project aim and plan considering specific and wider implications and a framework for implementing and evaluating preparatory and initial work.

Students are provided with an introduction to commercial business and law – knowledge and skills which can be applied to the operations of an engineering-based organisation. The learning outcomes address: managerial decisions, commercial aspects, law in engineering, entrepreneurship, project management and project risk management. A range of case studies will be used to illustrate principles and provide examples.

Students are guided through the development of their experimental or theoretical methods, and planning a successful execution and completion of their project. The module also teaches students what it is to be a professional practitioner, examining ethical and legal issues around professional practice, as well as commercial, management and legal aspects for developing technologies, as it pertains to their project.

Students are also supported through regular interaction with individually assigned project supervisors, in the conduct and implementation of their project, culminating in a Phase 1 Progress Report.

Phase 2 of the Individual Project focuses on carrying out the project work as planned, producing results and evaluating outputs in the form of a written report and presentation.

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are the mathematical language of change in space and time. They are used to describe a wide variety of real-world systems. Examples of their applications include describing how waves travel, how heat spreads, weather forecasting, how the fundamental laws of Nature work, the pricing of financial derivatives such as stock options, and many others.

The module begins with a review of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), discussing first- and second-order methods, boundary value problems, and eigenvalue problems. We then introduce Sturm-Liouville theory and Fourier Series, seeing that it is possible to express a general periodic function as a sum of sine and cosine functions.

Next, we introduce some of the basic concepts of PDEs. The three important classes of second order PDE appropriate for modelling different sorts of phenomena are introduced, and the appropriate boundary conditions for each of these are considered. The technique of separation of variables is used to reduce a PDE to a set of ODEs of the kind reviewed at the start of the module, and to derive the general solution using Fourier Series and Sturm-Liouville theory. Throughout the module there will be a strong emphasis on problem solving and examples.

The last part of the module is an introduction to integral transforms, comprising Laplace Transforms and Fourier Transforms. We show how Laplace transforms are a very powerful technique to solve ODEs and PDEs, and how Fourier Transforms are very useful to solve PDEs.
