Engineering Research ENGR90041/90042
The subject involves undertaking a substantial research project requiring an independent investigation on an approved topic in advanced engineering research and/or design. Each project is carried out under the supervision of an academic staff member and. This subject is a 25 points subject and run in two semesters. This subject is ideal for students who prefer independent study and would like to have close collaboration with an academic supervisor. High-quality results may lead to publication in a leading academic journal, or the students may be sent to an International conference.
