The Third Year Dissertation offers each student the opportunity to increase their depth of study into a particular area of renewable energy in line with their specific interests. It offers each student the chance to develop an idea, design or test a device, review the literature, work with a local company or carry out another reasonable renewable energy related piece of research. The dissertation might be in a specialist area where you want to develop your career, a plan for a piece of kit or just something that you would like to dig a bit deeper into. Students will be provided with a list of possible topics each with an attached supervisor at the beginning of the year. All students are welcome to come up with their own topic so long as they can find a supervisor on the academic staff. Students are encouraged to have an external supervisor where appropriate, and this is especially encouraged where the student is working with an external organisation. Every student on the module will (and must) have a personal supervisor available for one-on-one tuition throughout the year. Students are expected to plan meetings with supervisors on a regular basis. Evidence of supervisor meetings will be required to demonstrate these have occurred, along with other evidence of the student taking a proactive approach to the management and delivery of their project. Prerequisites: CSM2187 Project Management and Accounting
