This course is the second of two parts and is undertaken after CVEN9951 Extension Masters Thesis A. Successful completion of Parts A and B are required to obtain the equivalent of 24 UOC Extension Masters Thesis within the 8539 program. Admission to CVEN9951 and CVEN9952 only with permission of Specialisation Authority and a credit average in completed courses within Extension Masters 8539 program - progression to CVEN9952 is dependent upon satisfactory completion of CVEN9951 in preceding semester.
An Extension Masters Thesis project involves an independent investigation at an advanced level by the student and may include research, design, feasibility or other analysis requiring integration of knowledge and evaluation across a range of topics in the area of specialisation. Work based projects are encouraged for practising engineers provided they meet the requirements of advanced independent study. Work based projects must be approved by the program authority prior to commencement of the project. Part B involves independently completing the Extension Masters research project and writing a thesis fully describing the problem, the nature of the work undertaken, the aims and objectives, the research methodology, the reseach outcomes, results and conclusions.
