Handbook

This course is the “capstone” thesis course in aviation. It consolidates findings and the skills developed and refined throughout the program. It affords the opportunity to take these skills and knowledge from other courses in the program and forge a valuable contribution by research to the discipline. You will take significant ownership of a minor body of research, your aviation science project. To facilitate this you will learn about relevant research methodologies, how to plan a research project, how to conduct a critical review of relevant published material, and how to write and present research findings. Through your aviation science project, you should gather suitable data for analysis to a suitable standard, and present your findings to your peers, academic supervisors, and industry representatives when possible.
