A case study report is required to be submitted by each student as one of the assessment items for this unit. The report will be assessed and marked out of 10%.
The format of the report is that of an engineering/scientific report. All aspects of your report must be your own original work. You must acknowledge any assistance that you received, and must provide appropriate referencing for any copyright information that you include in your report.
One of the primary goals of the project is to get you to perform "inquiry or problem- based learning" through this project. You investigate the problem, and when you reach the limit of your knowledge, you will need to backtrack and re-examine the problem. You should determine explicitly what you need to know at each stage, and then search for information from the sources at your disposal - the lecture notes, textbook, other references, the library, the internet, etc. We understand that you may not know everything you need to know at this stage, but your learning should accelerate as you progress through the project.
What Your Report Should Contain
You are required to include the following information, and structure your report as described:
• Edit the Word file and adjust it to your project realisation.
• Keep the number of words within the limits indicated next to each paragraph title.
• Follow the guidelines below and keep the report as professional as possible.
Introduction
• Short summary of the purpose or function of your proposed system - what goals are you trying to achieve.
• Include background information on previous work, including references.
Case Description
• Description of the procedures and apparatus to be used. Include a diagram of your proposed case study.
• Based on the case study goals, define what you intend to control. Include a description of the operating range (and any other properties) of your defined control processes.
• If you use software, describe the software and what you need to include in the software to achieve your stated goals. You should map out a plan of the functions you want the software to perform. This can be a flow diagram.
References
Reference all material that you use from other sources. Use the correct referencing method defined by the University (or Kirkup)*.
Appendix
• Include any information that you feel is important for interpreting the report that does not actually belong in the body of the report; i.e. important datasheets and other equipment information.
