Aim - To assess the technical and presentation skills by exploring the technical knowledge gained in Microwave and Radar systems.
Objective
- To understand the basic knowledge of microwave devices and components
- To explore the significance of the radar systems in real time scenario.
- To evaluate the presentation skills and report writing skills to perform with proper planning and time management
A. Knowledge and understanding of the topic
This is the factual foundation of the assignment. The essential facts should be accurate and broad enough in their scope to allow further application.
B. Application and analysis of the topic (Module specific Skill)
This is the way in which you analyse/ examine the factual information and how you interpret this information to add value to your answer (this could be in the form of conclusions, solutions, recommendations,etc.). It is also important to remember that the assessor must logically be able to follow the information in assignment submissions.
C. The structure in terms of logic and coherence
Submissions should have a clear start and a clear end. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Report structure, Abstract, Introduction & Referencing, Result Analysis, and Conclusion & Future works.
D. The use of relevant work examples and/or examples gained from further reading Suggestions for further reading are contained within the course work and indicated at the end of the course work. These reading lists are not exhaustive and candidates are encouraged to read further and reference at the end of the course work using Harvard style of referencing.
