Capstone Project A

CIVL5020

The ability to plan, systemically conduct and report on a major research project is an important skill for professional engineers. This unit of study builds on technical competencies previously obtained, as well as making use of the report writing and communication skills the students have developed. In this unit of study, students are required to plan and begin work on a major research project, which is very often some aspect of a staff member's research interests. Some of the projects will be experimental in nature, while others may involve computer-based simulation, design or literature surveys. In this unit students will learn how to examine published and experimental data, set objectives, organize a program of work and devise an experimental or developmental program. The skills acquired will be invaluable to students undertaking engineering work. Students are expected to take the initiative when pursuing their research project.
