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.
Course learning outcomes
- Locate sources of information that will assist with the understanding of a technical problem that has not previously been encountered,
- Critically evaluate the validity, coverage and gaps in such sources of information;
- Write a statement of a research question or hypothesis, identifying an issue of which there is incomplete understanding;
- Design and execute an investigation, experiment or theoretical study to answer the research question;
- Present the background and findings of the research investigation in multiple formats
- Apply an advanced level of technical understanding in multiple areas of technical specialisation to devise solutions to complex technical problems
- Demonstrated ability to work cooperatively and flexibly as a member of a team, contributing to team leadership as the situation requires
- Communicate, in writing and verbally, advanced technical concepts to both technically informed and lay audiences
- Apply project management techniques to devise and synthesise engineering solutions to complex, open ended problems
