Subject outline
CIV4INA is a capstone subject which requires students to reinforce and extend their learning to date through in-depth investigation of a research topic that illustrates applications of themes already dealt with in their course. Students work in pairs on their project and are encouraged to choose a topic with an industry focus. Topics may be suggested by the students or by academic staff members in line with their areas of expertise. In order to gain a mark for this their final year engineering project, students must also enrol and complete the subject requirements for CIV4INB.

Independent Research
Five 1.0 hours independent research per week and delivered via face-to-face.
