equirement, analyse that requirement, conduct appropriate
research to develop an analysis and specification of a
solution, and to design, implement and evaluate that
solution to meet the task requirement, Students should
develop personal, time and resource management skills.
Content
This subject gives the student the opportunity to apply
subject matter studies in other course subjects to
instrumentation-related problems in a specific field of
interest. Where possible the projects are industry-sponsored
and have relevance to the student's area of employment.
Cooperation between professionals in industry and/or
health care and supervising staff at Swinburne help develop
the student's competence. Each project requires a literature
survey and theoretical and/or experimental investigation.
Results are presented in a written dissertation as a
preliminary to SP733.
