Handbook

This course is designed for students undertaking a Masters by Coursework program in Materials Science and Engineering. It will be based on the performance of an original research project where students will demonstrate competency in the design and execution of a research investigation.

A self-directed experimental research or design-based project to apply, contextualise, and integrate fundamental scientific/engineering concepts learnt throughout the Materials Science and Engineering undergraduate program. Students will develop advanced disciplinary knowledge and will apply this to problem solving in the chosen topic area. Students will develop and practice high-level skills in critical thinking, project management, safety consideration and risk management, data collection and analysis, problem solving, and technical communication.

T1 Entry point: Students are required to enrol in MATS6114 in Term 1 and Term 2 and enrol in MATS6113 in Term 3
