design process.
Subject description
Each student will be required to nominate a project topic and ~~561 Computer Systems Engineering
to negotiate an acceptable specification for the work with a
member of staff who shall be the supervisor of the project.
The topic for the project may either be selected from a list of
suitable topics proposed by staff members, or be nominated by
the student, provided that a staff member is prepared to
supervise the topic. It is expected that the majority of students
will continue with the topic chosen in fourth year in the
prerequisite subject.
