School of Engineering · ANU College of Systems and Society
In this course, students undertake an individual engineering research or design project under supervision. Students are encouraged to put forward their own ideas for the individual project, or they may select a project from a range of projects offered by researchers across the ANU. The topic area would normally be expected to be in the same area as the major (or one of the majors) being completed by the student. It is recommended that students identify a project topic and supervisor well before project commencement. Students are expected to manage all aspects of their individual project, from scoping through planning, execution and progress monitoring of the project, to ultimate achievement of the assessment deliverables. Details of the project process, roles and responsibilities are provided on the course Wattle site.

Students are expected to engage in their individual project work for no less than 10 hours a week on average, for an overall 250-300 hours over two semesters. Non-“individual” course activities (i.e., attending classes and participating in peer-support tasks) should account for approximately 10% of a student’s overall engagement with the course. Please note that the above figures are only indicative. Research work has a degree of unpredictability, and individual time management and research choices can have a significant impact on the time demands of a project. It is common for projects to also involve work during non-teaching periods (mid-semester and/or winter/summer break). Students should manage and monitor their project workload in consultation with their supervisor. Work Integrated Learning Projects This course will allow you to manage all aspects of your individual project from scoping through planning, execution and progress monitoring of the project, to ultimate achievement of the assessment deliverables.
