Overview
The aim of this capstone unit is to provide an opportunity for you to undertake a substantial individual or small group project. In order to complete the project, studies from earlier stages of the course will be integrated into a complete design/build/test task, a computer modelling or simulation task or a combination of both. It is envisaged that the project may involve the design of mechanical components, sensing, actuation and computing elements, a simulated model or similar. Before work is started on the project, safety induction and/or risk assessment process will be completed. You will also complete a research proposal or requirements analysis to ensure that the scope and expected outcomes of the project are agreed between you and your supervisor. A progress report and a progress presentation at the end of the semester will give a detailed account of your progress and a research plan for the next semester.
