Description In this subject students develop the foundations for a year-long capstone project which may be either design or research oriented. Throughout the semester, students will develop their design, research and presentation skills under the supervision of academic or industry mentors as co-supervisors. This capstone project work develops a student’s ability to identify, plan, test, execute, document and report on an engineering project at a high level. The capstone project will be completed and finalised in “Final Year Project 2 (UG Engineering)”. Students completing the Final Year Project 1 and the Final Year Project 2 associated subjects will develop skills relevant to their future careers as engineers or as a pathway to higher degree studies.
