Project work undertaken by individuals is a central part of engineering and construction. At the professional engineering/construction project manager level project work routinely involves research in the sense that there are non-standard requirements to be met and non-standard problems to be overcome. This course requires the student to complete the project commenced in ENG4111 Research Project Part 1, and to report the complete work (ENG4111 Research Project Part 1 and ENG4112 Research Project Part 2 together) in the form of an academic research dissertation.

Following satisfactory progress in ENG4111 Research Project Part 1 in the preceding semester of offer, and with the continuing guidance of supervisor/s, the student will further develop skills spanning both the technical and non-technical dimensions of engineering and spatial science at the professional level. The student will study and replicate the rationale, style and format of the academic dissertation and present the total project work (comprising ENG4111 Research Project Part 1 and ENG4112 Research Project Part 2) as a dissertation.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. take responsibility for a major individual technical task and execute it to an appropriate point of completion;
2. establish, manage and maintain appropriate interaction and reporting with the designated supervisor during all phases of a major technical task;
3. interact appropriately with other colleagues, e.g., technical and administrative staff, as necessary in support of the project;
4. cope with resource and time constraints, both foreseeable and unexpected;
5. critically review research findings, define their significance and develop optimal solution/s;
6. demonstrate the ability to apply intellectual rigour whilst completing a major technical task;
7. prepare an academic dissertation written in a clear, logical, concise and accurate professional style using standard referencing and citation conventions;
8. submit a dissertation within a designated timeframe.
