<p>This unit is intended to be taken in sequence with ENGRG9004 and will build upon this unit. Students will continue to develop their knowledge and skills necessary to undertake an advanced engineering research project. In the process, students will employ a combination of hands-on, analytical and computing skills relevant to their field of advanced study. Students will present their findings in front of a peer based audience and will produce a final written thesis or other suitable form of written work.</p>
