Project Overview

This project is linked to an activity for an NGO (http://www.ieahev.org/tasks/task-32-small-electric-vehicles/) to propose assessment methods for the improvement in the safety of small electric vehicles.

The student will work with the international group in sharing and discussing research results. The work will be in the form of online discussions with partner organisations and also exchanging documents and results via a online platform. The student will develop both engineering and communication skills – with the intention to collaborate on a conference submission targeted for end of 2017.

The reflective element will be captured within the internal assessment at Coventry University.
