Student Projects

The streams we supervise, and what separates a project that passes from one that gets remembered. Every project is the student's own — we guide, review and assess.

Project Streams

Four areas we supervise

Pick the stream closest to your programme. If your project spans two of them, that is normal — say so when you apply.

Electrical switchgear and distribution equipment in a power systems installation.

Power Systems

Power Systems & Distribution

Distribution network modelling, protection coordination and machine performance studies — the stream where a clean simulation and a defensible set of assumptions usually decide the grade.

Typical scope

  • Load flow and fault-level analysis
  • Protection and relay coordination
  • Transformer and machine testing
  • Power quality and harmonics studies

Embedded Systems

Embedded Systems & IoT

Microcontroller-based hardware with firmware and, increasingly, a connected element. We push hard on scope here — most failed projects in this stream were simply too ambitious for one semester.

Typical scope

  • Sensor interfacing and signal conditioning
  • Firmware architecture and debugging
  • Wireless links and data logging
  • Enclosure, power budget and field testing
An automated robotic assembly cell operating on a production line.

Automation

Industrial Automation & Control

PLC and control-system projects built around a real process rather than a textbook example, including the instrumentation and safety interlocks a working line would need.

Typical scope

  • PLC programming and ladder logic
  • HMI and SCADA interfaces
  • Process instrumentation
  • Control loop tuning and validation
Rows of photovoltaic panels across a large-scale solar installation.

Renewable Energy

Renewable Energy Systems

Solar and hybrid system design grounded in measured load data and local irradiance figures — not the manufacturer datasheet numbers that make a design look better than it is.

Typical scope

  • Load profiling and system sizing
  • PV array and inverter selection
  • Battery storage and autonomy modelling
  • Payback and lifecycle costing

How Supervision Works

Four stages, every project

  1. 01

    Scope it honestly

    We cut the project down until it can genuinely be finished and defended in the time you have. This is the single most common reason projects fail.

  2. 02

    Methodology before build

    You agree how the result will be measured and validated before you start building. Examiners ask about method, not effort.

  3. 03

    Build with review points

    Scheduled check-ins against your own plan, so problems surface in week four rather than the week before submission.

  4. 04

    Write and defend

    Structure, technical writing and a mock defence — because a good project still fails if it cannot be explained.

Published Work

Why no student names appear here

Supervised projects belong to the students who built them. We publish a project only with the student's written permission, and we will not put someone's academic work on a company page to make the page look fuller.

If you have been supervised by us and would like your project featured, get in touch — we would be glad to.
