Written specifically for engineering students, this handbook is packed with practical guidance on conducting projects and writing clear and coherent reports. It takes students step-by-step through the key stages in a project, from identifying the problem and analysing its causes to defining solution requirements and developing and implementing solutions. It also provides guidance on other important aspects of project work, such as communicating with industrial partners and presenting their report. Chapters feature a wealth of examples and top tips to help students apply concepts to their own projects.
This will be an essential companion for engineering students of all disciplines who are undertaking a group or individual project or report.
