Enrolment rules
You must be currently enrolled in a master’s course in engineering or related STEM and in a related discipline. The unit assumes that you have the necessary foundational knowledge.
Overview
Projects will consist of solving industry-based problems using design, theoretical or experimental investigation. The projects have to be actual industrial problems identified by industrial partners in the relevant field. The project may be undertaken either within the School or externally within the industry. In either case, an academic member of staff and a person from the industry will act as supervisors. While some projects may benefit from group-based work, it is expected that you will work individually on each project. In the first part, you are expected to plan the project work with sound analysis and generate preliminary findings.
