A major engineering project consisting of application of advanced laboratory, field
or computer techniques for the research, design or solution of an engineering problem.
Each student will work on a topic from a list presented by his/her engineering discipline.
Multiple disciplinary topics are encouraged. Topics are based on research interests
of academic and research staff and are often based on real world problems in cooperation
with local and regional industry. Projects often take advantage of James Cook University's
unique location, in the tropics and in close proximity to reef and rainforest World
Heritage Areas. Components of this subject include planning; literature survey; research,
development or design; proposal/progress written report and oral presentation; formal
thesis document and seminar presentation of final results.
Learning Outcomes
- search, interpret and critically evaluate relevant research literatures to justify
research gaps, objectives and methodologies;
- 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;
- identify and critically appraise current developments, advanced technologies and emerging
issues.
