66049 Groundwater Science Project PT GD (Part B)

Requisite(s): 66048 Groundwater Science Project PT GD (Part A)

There are also course requisites for this subject. See access conditions.

The objective of this project (comprising Part A and Part B) 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. The depth and extent of the research should reflect 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 (two-page) 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).
