| Content |
This unit must be taken in successive semesters within a maximum of four semesters. Parts 1 to 4 must be completed to fulfil the requirements of the unit. Students can commence the unit in either semester 1 or semester 2.
The unit provides training in the investigation of a particular topic and in the presentation of the results. Students are required to submit a technical report on a topic approved by the Head of the School of Civil and Resource Engineering and to participate in the prescribed seminars. |

This is based on a progress report submitted during part 2, a seminar paper and a seminar given in part 4 and a final project report submitted at the end of part 4. These allow students to demonstrate verbal and oral communication skills, and, through the research project, problem identification, formulation and solution.
