Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

critically review and evaluate literature relevant to a research topic in your area of engineering specialisation using a thematic approach

define appropriate aims, scope and methodology for a proposed research project to address an identified gap in existing knowledge in your area of engineering specialisation

present a coherent written proposal that describes the background, aims, rationale, methodology, and anticipated outcomes for your proposed research project

identify the resources and approvals needed to successfully complete your proposed study.
