Project work undertaken by individuals is a central part of surveying, planning and spatial science practice. At the professional engineer/spatial scientist 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 PSG4111 Research Project Part 1, and to report the complete work (PSG4111 Research Project Part 1 and PSG4112 Research Project Part 2 together) in the form of an academic journal paper.

Following satisfactory progress in PSG4111 Research Project A 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 planning, surveying and spatial science at the professional level. The student will study and replicate the rationale, style and format of the journal paper and present the total project work (comprising PSG4111 Research Project A and PSG4112 Research Project B) as a journal paper.

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 discipline specific research project 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 discipline specific research project;
3. critically review research findings, define their significance and develop optimal solution/s;
4. demonstrate the ability to apply intellectual rigour whilst completing a major discipline specific research project;
5. prepare and submit a journal paper written in a clear, logical, concise and accurate professional style using standard referencing and citation conventions;
