Course description

The capacity to develop research questions and implement research programs to address them are highly desirable in professional engineering practice. This course provides an opportunity for students to enhance their research skills through the completion of a small research project. Each student will choose a preferred research topic and engage with an academic supervisor. The research activities of each student vary between research topics but can involve various combinations of laboratory experiments, field studies, data analysis and numerical modelling. Students will deliver the research background, literature review, research gaps, methodology, outcomes and conclusions through a thesis report and oral presentation with Q&A. There are no traditional formal lectures or tutorials in this course.
