Each student must undertake a major individual design, research and/or computer project at a high technological level on a topic of practical relevance. A member of CUED staff will act as your project supervisor. Your project is a very important part of the final year and is expected to take up roughly half your working time throughout the whole of that year.
See the Part IIB Project Guide (second notice) for comprehensive information about the projects.

If you wish to qualify in a specific engineering area, at least six modules from your total of ten must fall within one of the engineering areas defined by the Faculty Board.
The title of the engineering area for which you are qualified will appear on each of your Part IIA and IIB transcripts. In some cases, you may be qualified for more than one engineering area, in which case all will appear on your transcript. It is not essential that your engineering area at Part IIB is the same as that at Part IIA.

Overview
Most Part IIA modules (preceded by numeral 3) have 16 lectures and an associated coursework exercise completed in one term (either Michaelmas or Lent). These are examined by an written paper of 1.5 hour duration held early in the Easter term. However, some group A courses are double modules that run throughout both the Michaelmas and Lent terms (with 16 lectures in each term) and are examined by three-hour written papers.

Please read the detailed information on the Part IIA modules.
You are reminded that you:
- must confirm your choices for Michaelmas Term modules by midnight on Wednesday of week 1
- must keep safe all your Part IIA coursework as you must submit it all for scrutiny by the examiners at the end of the Easter Term.

Projects run over a 4-week period after the Part IIA examinations, so that undergraduates have no other scheduled activities. Important dates and deadlines are:

Students are expected to complete as much as possible of the work associated with their two projects, but the four week timetable imposes tight constraints. If there is any significant disruption to your project work (whether or not a report deadline is missed), you must notify your tutor, project leaders and the Director of Undergraduate Education by email immediately. If the deadline for any report is missed, a Part IIA project allowanc

For each project, there are 80 marks available. In order to spread the workload for both students and staff, continuous assessment will take place for the duration of the project period, with a number of staged reports. Some projects include individual or group presentations as part of the assessment. Each project has its own mark distributions and submission dates, and these are stated in the online Project descriptions. A typical allocation is:
