It is essential that this foundation reflects not only established thinking and practices but equally important, it should account for divergent and newly developing views as well as any limitations or weaknesses that underpin current understanding. The quality of the engineering solution is therefore a function of the quality and timing to complete this investigation; an investigation that forms part of a process known as research. The research scope of this course is to significantly extend any previous industry research that has been undertaken by the student and/or others including two or more of the following categories: site or laboratory testing; related numerical modelling; comprehensive cost-benefit or geostatistical analysis; extension of constitutive theory. On completion of this course, a student should be capable of preparing: a conference paperan examiners copy of thesis, and final corrected thesis submission With permission from the School, and consistent with Program rules, this course can be extended in combination with MINE8690 to produce a significantly more comprehensive research and thesis.   Note: Industry support is essential for this research project. Students need to have written evidence of industry support and/or agreement of an academic supervisor in the School in order to complete the course requirements. Please contact the School if more information is required.
