EG5312 - Research Project 2

In the Research Project, students undertake a substantial piece of independent research under supervision of appointed supervisor/s. Research projects may consist of application of advanced laboratory, field or computer techniques to analyse and design solutions for an engineering problem. Research topics are often based on real world problems in cooperation with local and regional industries. Research Project 2 (EG5312) is a 3 credit point subject and is the second part of the Research Project where students complete a research project based on the objectives and methodologies defined in the research proposal. Students are required to submit a final research report and give a research seminar.

Learning Outcomes

• locate, interpret, and critically appraise available literatures and resources to justify research gaps, formulate research problems, objectives and methodologies;
• identify and critically appraise current developments, advanced technologies and emerging issues;
• design experiments/simulation and fluently apply advanced engineering techniques and systems approach to develop engineering solutions to complex problems;
• plan and execute engineering and research projects of significant size and scope;
• analyse and interpret data, derive conclusions and evaluate project outcomes against appropriate criteria;
• communicate project objectives and outcomes with scientists, engineers and the community at large in written and oral forms.
