Handbook

Research Thesis is an inquiry-based learning course that provides an opportunity for students to bring together engineering principles learned through academic study and professional experience. Students apply these principles to innovatively solve problems such as the development of a specific design, process and/or the investigation of a hypothesis. Students taking Advanced Research Thesis are expected to demonstrate these qualities at an advanced level.

The project a student undertakes must be a complex, open-ended problem that allows room for creativity, and the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of results. There must be multiple possible solutions or conclusions at the outset and sufficient complexity to require a degree of project planning from the student.

You must identify a supervisor and project prior to enrolling in this course.

This is the first course of the three course research thesis sequence.
