Description In this subject, advanced students will finalise their year-long, specialist research project begun in “Engineering Thesis 1 - Preliminary Investigations” with the completion of a thesis document. To build on the work begun in semester 1 students will project manage and complete the technical aspects of their project, produce a research paper suitable for journal publication, present on their research and finalise their thesis under the supervision of academic or industry mentors as co-supervisors. Advanced students, completing their individual research project, are expected to work with minimal supervision to manage the project and are responsible for solving issues as they arise and communicating their findings at a high level. Students completing Advanced Engineering Thesis 1 and Advanced Engineering Thesis 2 associated subjects, will develop skills relevant to their future careers as engineers or as a pathway to higher degree studies.
