Civil Engineering Project Formulation

Course aim

To prepare students to undertake a major research project in a specialist area of civil engineering.

Course content

The Honours or Investigation project requires an in-depth study of a specific topic in any area of civil engineering, which will also generally involve a laboratory or field investigation, possibly supported by industry. This course is designed to direct students to develop their research project by presenting a preliminary plan, undertaking a literature review and formulating a comprehensive research proposal.
