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.
