+There are three elements to the assessment of the project,structured both to support the student through the project and also to allow them both to demonstrate their report writing skills and to showcase their technical ability.
+The major piece of assessed work is the project report. This will be between 8,000   - 10,000 words plus supporting material in the form of software where appropriate and documentation. The report is submitted upon completion of the project and carries 70% of the available marks.
+In addition, at approximately the middle of the project period, students are required to attend a project-in-progress day. The project-in-progress day is organised as a poster event and students are expected to prepare a poster that describes their project idea and progress to date. The day is attended by academics from across the department and the employers and is an opportunity for students, staff and the employers to discuss and exchange ideas about their work. 5% of the overall available marks are devoted to the material produced for the project in progress day. Finally, after submission of the project report, students are required to present and demonstrate their solution to their supervisor and optionally their employer.
