Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Conducting research within engineering typically involves steps of modelling data, analysing data, designing solutions to problems and professional presentation of the data in the form of technical reports or papers. This subject will teach you fundamental skills across these areas which will include the following topics: (1) basis of research methodology including literature survey, problem formulation, and solutions and validations, (2) technical report writing, structuring documents, referencing, typesetting, producing professional figures, and (3) Python programming and modelling data sets. You will develop competency in using a range of software tools taught in this subject.
