Course overview
In this course, students will apply knowledge of engineering principles, practices and research methods, to undertake and communicate the outcomes of an engineering project. The students will complete the project that was commenced in Engineering Honours Project A. Conduct a research project in the discipline of interest in Engineering under supervision. Students will usually work in groups of 3-4 to refine and execute the research plan they developed in Engineering Honours Project A to investigate and report on a research topic in their discipline of interest in Engineering.
