The research project is the culminating experience of the student's course and provides students with the opportunity to apply and integrate their knowledge and skills gained from earlier years. This unit (NEF4101) focuses on undertaking a literature review and developing a research proposal for a substantial discipline related project. The project will then be executed in NEF4201 Research Project 2. Wherever possible, projects will be sourced from industry partners. Projects will be undertaken individually by each student although a number of projects can be closely related to address large challenges or problems.
