Description
The coursework for this module will be a group design exercise. For this assignment
you are required to work in your pre-allocated group. There is a total of 100 marks
available for the ICA of this module which has two components.
Component 1: A group presentation and question and answer session based on the
design solution for an industrially relevant electrical engineering problem. The mark
awarded will comprise a single group mark for the presentation aid and an individual
mark for the student’s presentation and response to questions. (40% of total marks).
Component 2: A group report of 10 pages or equivalent based on the design solution
to an industrially relevant electrical engineering problem. Evaluation of an individual’s
contribution to the performance of the group will be based on tutor moderated self and
peer assessment. An Evidence File Portfolio, including documents such as minutes of
group meetings, action lists, Gantt charts and staff observation of team meetings, will
be used by the tutor to moderate the self and peer assessment. (60% of total marks).
Structure of the Report
The report should adhere to the following guidance:
• The report should have an Abstract, Title page and a Contents page, and each
page should be numbered.
• Not including the Abstract, Title, contents, references or appendix pages, the
report should be a maximum of 10 pages long including equations, figures,
illustrations and tables.
• References should follow the Teesside University Harvard standard described
in ‘Cite them Right’ available at:
http://ezproxy.tees.ac.uk/login?url=http://www.citethemrightonline.com/
• Figures and tables are to be numbered with a caption describing the
figure/table. They are to be neat and of a readable size. (Note screen dumps

showing PVSyst software outputs are difficult to read – so you should consider
saving the variables to a spread sheet software like excel and generating plots
using the spread sheet software).
• The caption should indicate the primary feature observable in the viewing the
figure/table.
• Brevity is commendable.
• Appendices should be used for additional information such as extracts from
data sheets. However, it is important that the report be readable and
understandable without reference to the appendices.
If any parts of the exercise are unclear, please ask the module tutor for clarification.
Structure of the presentation
• The presentation should adhere to the following guidance:
• Names of all team members should be shown on the title page.
• Each page except the title page should be numbered.
• One slide should be dedicated to a table showing the contribution of each
team member.
• The following questions should be taken into consideration while designing
the presentation:
▪ Does it have an introduction and a conclusion?
▪ Does it flow logically from beginning to end?
▪ Are your slides clear, easy to comprehend and aid understanding?
• The colour scheme of figures and their axes label font sizes should be chosen
with audience visibility from a distance in mind.
What you say, especially in response to questions, will influence your overall
presentation mark, so be well prepared.
