Course overview
In the two-Semester M.Eng Research Project, students undertake an AQF9 research project and demonstrate deep discipline understanding in their field of study. Students work directly under the supervision of world-leading research academics, with potential for industry collaboration. These courses strengthen and apply the project management and research skills of the students with a focus on engineering communication and the integration of advanced technical methodologies.
Research Project Part A and Part B must be undertaken in consecutive Semesters and acceptable progress is required in Part A before continuing in Part B.
