Subject outline

The subject is available to individuals who are more focused on research-based learning and who do not wish, or who are unable to secure a WIL placement. This subject and its companion EMS4ARB, give you an opportunity to investigate a contemporary research issue for engineers in Australia. Projects can either be industry based, that is, a problem identified by industry, or a problem associated with one under investigation at the University. The method of study may be laboratory, computer or field-based. You will work independently on your project and are expected to maintain regular contact with your supervisor/s.
