Initial ideas for Investigative Project
At this time I do not know the subject I want to conduct my report on. I know I want to conduct it on something related to my role as a Manufacturing Engineer -

Business Improving Techniques Course
As part of my apprenticeship I am conducting a Business Improving Techniques (BIT) course. This is a week long course run by Willie Henderson. The aim of the week is to teach apprentices about all the business improvement techniques adopted by Rolls-Royce. -
First Idea For My Investigative Project
On the Business improvement cell I am getting to grips with the Rolls Royce Production System, I have an idea that it would be very interesting to conduct my investigative report on the Rolls Royce Production System. -
Presentation
As part of the Business improvement cell I have to present my finding and what I learnt from the week to the Head and Managers of RRPS. -
Meeting
Organised a meeting with a Manager of Rolls Royce Production Systems to discuss my idea to conduct my report on RRPS, the response was It may be difficult due to the amount of information I can share about Rolls-Royce on a University report. -
Research
Looked for new project ideas, one was to conduct it on The Gas Turbine in general. Research concluded it was to wider subject. -
More Researching ideas
After taking a test on aerodynamics today and passing with flying colours I start researching into areas I could conduct my report on. But all ideas dont seem interesting enough or worthwhile. -
Supersonic Aircraft Maths Seminar
Today I presented my supersonic aircraft presentation and had the idea to conduct my investigative project on supersonic aircraft. Today I presented my supersonic aircraft presentation and had the idea to conduct my investigative project on supersonic aircraft. Shortly following I come to the realisation that this subject is too broad. -
Rolls-Royce, How To Build A Jumbo Jet Engine
Rolls-Royce, How To Build A Jumbo Jet Engine DocumentaryToday I just watched the BBC documentary and I was very interested in the engine health monitoring section and my first thoughts are to conduct my engine health monitoring system. -
Improving? engine health management
My initial idea is to write my report on Improving? Engine Health Management, but after conducting further research I came to the realisation that in order to improve Engine Health Management I have to first understand fully what it is how it works and why we need it. -
Start of Project Research
Intelligent Based Aircraft Engine Health Monitoring: Improving Aircraft Engine Maintenance Effectiveness and Reliability [Paperback]I start my trying to acquire books but as this subject is so specialised the books on the subject are very expensive so the second option was to loan them. -
My Library Account
After coming to the realisation that the books are too expensive to buy and none of my local library’s hold specialised books in this subject. I log into my Sheffield Hallam University library account My Libary reserves and reserve 3 books. And make the journey up to collect them. -
