<p>This unit enables students to use knowledge acquired during their studies to undertake the second part of their chosen engineering research project. In the process, students will employ hands-on, analytical and computing skills relevant to their fields of studies. Students will finalise their survey of relevant literature and present their findings in a dissertation.</p>
