课程概述
The capstone project requires the student to plan and execute a substantial research-based project, using their technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse and theorise about developments that contribute to professional practice thus demonstrating the achievement of AQF Level 9. The ability to plan, systematically conduct and report on a major research project is an important skill for professional engineers. This unit of study builds on technical competencies introduced in previous years, as well as making use of the report writing and communications skills the students have developed. The research activity is spread over two units (Minimum 12 A and B) run over two semesters. In this unit of study, students are required to plan and begin work on a major research project, which is very often some aspect of a staff member's research interests. Some of the projects will be experimental in nature, while others may involve computer-based simulation, design or literature surveys. In this unit, students will learn how to examine published and experimental data, set objectives, organize a program of work and devise an experimental or developmental program. The progress at the end of Project A will be evaluated based on a seminar presentation and a progress report. The skills acquired will be invaluable to students undertaking engineering work. Students are expected to take the initiative when pursuing their research projects. The supervisor will be avAIlable for discussion- typically 1 hour per week. A thesis at this level will represent a contribution to professional practice or research, however the timeframe available for the thesis also needs to considered when developing project scopes. Indeed, a key aim of the thesis is to specify a research topic that arouses sufficient intellectual curiosity, and presents an appropriate range and diversity of technical and conceptual challenges, while remaining manageable and allowing achievable outcomes within the time and resources available. It is important that the topic be of sufficient scope and complexity to allow a student to learn their craft and demonstrate their research skills. Equally imperative is that the task not be so demanding as to elude completion. Finally the ability to plan such a project to achieve results within constraints and the identification of promising areas and approaches for future research is a key assessment criterion.
顶点项目要求学生计划和执行一个基于研究的实质性项目，利用他们的技术和沟通技巧来设计、评估、实施、分析和理论化有助于专业实践的发展，从而证明 AQF 9 级的成就。计划、系统地进行和报告重大研究项目的能力是专业工程师的一项重要技能。该学习单元建立在前几年介绍的技术能力的基础上，并利用学生培养的报告写作和沟通技巧。研究活动分为两个单元（最少 12 个 A 和 B），持续两个学期。在这个学习单元中，学生需要计划并开始一个主要的研究项目，这通常是工作人员研究兴趣的某个方面。一些项目本质上是实验性的，而其他项目可能涉及基于计算机的模拟、设计或文献调查。在本单元中，学生将学习如何检查已发表的和实验数据、设定目标、组织工作计划以及设计实验或发展计划。项目 A 结束时的进展将根据研讨会介绍和进展报告进行评估。获得的技能对于从事工程工作的学生来说是无价的。学生在进行研究项目时应采取主动。主管将可供讨论——通常每周 1 小时。这个级别的论文将代表对专业实践或研究的贡献，但是在制定项目范围时也需要考虑论文可用的时间框架。事实上，论文的一个主要目标是指定一个能够激发足够的求知欲，并提出适当范围和多样性的技术和概念挑战的研究主题，同时保持可管理性，并允许在可用的时间和资源内取得成果。重要的是该主题具有足够的范围和复杂性，以允许学生学习他们的手艺并展示他们的研究技能。同样重要的是，任务的要求不要高到无法完成。最后，计划这样一个项目以在限制范围内取得成果的能力以及为未来研究确定有前途的领域和方法是一个关键的评估标准。 学习成果
