EE556 Project
10 credit points Hawthorn Prerequisites: EE456 EE458,
EE459 Corequisites: nil Assessment: thesis/presentations/
seminar attendance
A final year subject common to all streams of the degree of
Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical)
Objectives
To give each student the experience of completing a project,
including . . the testing, evaluation and reporting phases of the
design process.
Content
Each student will be required to nominate a project topic
and to negotiate an acceptable specification for the work
with a member of staff who shall be the supervisor of the project.
The topic for the project may either be selected from a list
of suitable topics proposed by staff members, or be
nominated by the student, provided that a staff member is
prepared to supervise the topic. It is expected that the
majority of students will continue with the topic chosen in
fourth year in the Prerequisite: subject.
