Research Thesis Rule

• Research thesis is optional to all Undergraduate students.
• Student must seek a primary supervisor from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW.
• MMAN4951, MMAN4952 and MMAN4953 must be undertaken in three consecutive terms which are the final three terms of candidature.
• A student must not enrol in more than a standard full-time load involving MMAN4951, MMAN4952 and MMAN4953.
• A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4951, proceed to MMAN4952, and completed in MMAN4953.
• MMAN4951, MMAN4952, MMAN4953 are graded courses. MMAN4951 carries 10% of the total thesis mark, MMAN4952 carries 20% of the total thesis mark, MMAN4953 carries 70% of the total thesis mark (for Honours weighting purposes).
• If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4951, MMAN4952, or MMAN4953 a student cannot proceed to the next Research Thesis course and must reattempt MMAN4951, or discontinue Research Thesis.
• If the project is abandoned during MMAN4951, MMAN4952 and MMAN4953, a completely new topic must be chosen, and the student must enrol again in MMAN4951 or discontinue with Research Thesis.

• MMAN4010, MMAN4020 must be undertaken in two consecutive terms which are the final two terms of candidature.
• A student must not enrol in more than a standard full-time load involving MMAN4010 and MMAN4020
• A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4010 and completed in MMAN4020.
• MMAN4010 and MMAN4020 are graded course, MMAN4010 carries 25% of the total thesis mark, and MMAN4020 carries 75% of the total thesis mark (for Honours weighting purposes).
• If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4010, a student cannot proceed with MMAN4020, and must reattempt MMAN4010.
• If the project is abandoned during MMAN4010 or MMAN4020, a completely new topic and project team must be chosen and the student must enrol again in both MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.

Students without any prior Chemistry should choose CHEM1001. Other students with HSC Chemistry who wish to study Chemistry in more depth should choose CHEM1011.

Additional Information

Thesis Arrangements

  • MMAN4010 and MMAN4020 must be undertaken in two consecutive semesters which are the final two semesters of candidature.
  • A student must not be enrolled in more than 24 units of credit in any semester involving MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.
  • A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4010 and completed in MMAN4020. MMAN4020 carries the mark for the thesis project.
  • MMAN4010 is graded satisfactory (SY)/failure (FL). If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4010, a student cannot proceed with MMAN4020.
  • If the project is abandoned during MMAN4020, or if MMAN4020 is failed, a completely new topic must be chosen and the student must enrol again in both MMAN4010 and MMAN4020. (For BE/MBiomedE students, read BIOM5001 instead of MMAN4010 and BIOM5003 instead of MMAN4020).
