Components of the Project The overall Project grade is made up of marks from the following component parts: Project Report Project Planning and Execution Oral Presentation
The method of arriving at and combining the marks for each component is explained below. Project Report The upervisor and the econd !arker assess the Project Report independentl" taking into account such considerations as outlined in ection #.$ and below. The" each complete a %omment heet and Report &ssessment 'rid to give a breakdown of marks and calculate an overall mark for the report (out of )*+. The upervisor,s and econd !arker,s Report marks are recorded on the Project &ssessment ummar" -orm b" the supervisor. .f the supervisor and second marker do not agree on the Report mark the" will discuss the basis for their individual marks/ agree a mark and record the rationale on the Project &ssessment ummar" -orm. .f agreement cannot be reached the advice of other members of staff can be sought. This can be prior to or during the Project !oderation 0oard. Project Planning and Execution Assessment The upervisor allocates a mark for the Project Planning and Execution taking into account such considerations as outlined below. The breakdown of marks is given on the Project Planning and Execution &ssessment 'rid and %omment heet. &n overall mark is calculated (out of )*+ and recorded on the Project &ssessment ummar" -orm b" the supervisor. Oral Presentation Assessment &t least two members of academic staff are responsible for allocating the oral presentation grade. The" use the Oral Presentation &ssessment -orm to give comments and a breakdown of the marks and calculate an agreed overall mark for the presentation (out of )*+. .deall" the members of staff will be the supervisor and second marker but it is not alwa"s possible to arrange this. .f applicable the upervisor and1or econd !arker can comment on the Oral Presentation on the %omment heet. The assessors of the presentation are responsible for returning the Oral Presentation -orms to the Project %oordinator who will pass on the mark to the supervisor/ if necessar". The mark is recorded on the Project &ssessment ummar" -orm b" the supervisor.
Project Mark and Grade The marks for the Project Report/ Project Planning and Execution and Oral Presentation are multiplied b" the relevant weighting and a total percentage mark calculated. The weightings used depend on the degree course. The percentage mark is converted to a letter grade using the usual 3niversit" scale: 8 7* 9& #* : #; 9 0 <* : <; 9 % 6* : 6; 9 = $< : $; 9 E >$6 9-

E46#**1E46#*6 Engineering projects have three assessment components and assessment grids: Project Report/ Project !anagement and Execution/ and Oral Presentation. The attributes considered when awarding marks will var" for each of these. .n the case of the presentation of written and verbal evidence for project work for example/ a number of elements will be considered/ each of which should be assessed with reference to the certain @ualities. .n most situations the marks allocated are backed up b" an assessor,s written report detailing the salient points that lead to the mark awarded.
Project Report Assessed Element .ntroduction/ cene etting/ Rationale 0ackground/ Theor"/ Biterature Review/ References ndicators %larit" and succinctness of the &bstract. The .ntroduction states the problem clearl" and outlines the report. The broader context/ rationale and relevance of the work undertaken are made clear. 0ackground in the form of a literature review/ summar" of previous work/ pre?re@uisite theor"/ detailed specification and1or other material to provide a context for the project is presented. This is underpinned b" an appropriate number and correct use of relevant bibliographic references. The work carried during the project out is described in appropriate detail. =epending on the nature of the project this ma" relate to design work/ experimental methods/ measurement/ simulations/ anal"sis of pre?existing data/ gathering of knowledge or other activities. .t Throughout the report as well as in specific chapters and sections critical evaluation is evident. &s well as drawing considered conclusions/ a justification of approach/ consideration of alternative possibilities and other evidence of an en@uiring nature are evident/ depending on the nature of the work carried out. &dherence to the guidelines on structure/ format and length of the report. Eualit" of language and freedom from errors. The work carried out is described in sufficient detail to allow the reader to draw his1her own conclusions and without extraneous material. &ppropriate choice and clarit" of presentation of the products of the project such as results and designs/ b" means appropriate to the work such as diagrams/ graphs/ tables or other material.
