The ability to plan, systematically conduct and report on a major project, involving both research and design, is an important skill for transport analysts and researchers. The three units in the Master of Transport Research Pathway (TRAS5001, TRAS5002, and TRAS5003) aim to provide students with the opportunity to carry out a defined piece of independent research and design that fosters the development of engineering, planning, and business skills, develop a research paper, and prepare for a possible PhD. These skills include: the capacity to define a problem; carry out systematic research in exploring how it relates to existing knowledge; identifying the tools needed to address the problem; designing a solution, product or prototype; analysing the results obtained; and presenting the outcomes in a report that is clear, coherent and logically structured. The research project units are taken across one or two semesters of enrolment. Students will also be required to present the results of their thesis to their peers and supervisors as part of a seminar program. Students should explore topics that arouse intellectual curiosity and represent an appropriate range and diversity of technical and conceptual research and design challenges.
