This is a flexible 6 or 12 unit course that allows students to undertake a substantial research project on an appropriate engineering topic. Students will be expected to carry out independent research on this topic whilst working under a supervisor who is affiliated with the School of Engineering. The nature of the project can be theoretical, experimental, design or development based on the interests of the student and the availability of supervisors. Students must secure support of a supervisor and obtain permission from the Master of Engineering program convenor before enrolling in this course.
