Every student is allocated an individual engineering research project which is supervised by a member of the academic staff. The project will normally be in the student's area of professional interest. Projects are of a wide variety and may include theoretical, computational, design, experimental, review and field work. In all cases aspects of project planning, written communication and oral presentation are included.
