44152 Groundwater Engineering Project (M) (FT)

The objective of this subject is to provide candidates with the opportunity to research specific groundwater engineering, resource, environmental or contamination problems. Projects should reflect the knowledge and experience obtained throughout the coursework section of the course, and should demonstrate initiative, creativity and practical problem solving skills. The depth and extent of the research varies with the level of the degree, i.e. a Master's project is more in-depth and critical than a Graduate Diploma project. Each project is a substantial study that must be completed to a high professional standard. It must, however, be realistic with due regard to the time, supervision and facilities available. Each student is required at commencement of the project to write a short research plan. At the conclusion of the project two bound copies of a comprehensive report are submitted. In special circumstances, with the agreement of the project supervisor, alternative modes of project reporting might be acceptable (e.g. conference papers).
