EE760 Minor Project
25 credit points 8 hoursper week Hawthorn
Prerequisites: the 'Project Management and Research
Methods' subect other prerequisite:^ may apply to particular
projects Corequisites: nil Assessment: verbal and written
report; demonstrated implementation performance
An advanced subject in the Masters of Engineering by
coursework (Telecommunications, Computer Systems
Engineering and Biomedical Instrumentation)
Objectives
To develop the students ability to comprehend an analysis
and specification, and to design, implement and evaluate a
particular assigned implementation task to meet the
specifications. Students should develop personal, time and
resource management skills.
Content
The student chooses a particular implementation project
from a number of tasks specified by the lecturer. This
project will be relevant to the student's chosen discipline
focus, and is often associated with the student's current or
intended employment responsibilities.
The student is instructed in methodical approaches to the
implementation of solutions to that task, and then embarks
on the implementation, evaluation and reporting of the
completed project. The student consults regularly with the
project supervisor and produces a formal project report.
A maximum of two such Minor Projects can be undertaken
in the course.
EE762 Major Project
50 credit points 16 hours Hawthorn
Prerequisites: The 'Project Management and Research
Methods' subect Other prerequisite:^ may apply to particular
projects Corequisites: nil Assessment: verbal and written
report; demonstrated implementation performance
An advanced subject in the Masters of Engineering by
coursework (Telecommunications, Computer Systems
Engineering and Biomedical Instrumentation)
Objectives
To develop the students ability to comprehend a task
requirement, 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
The student chooses a particular engineering project task
from a number of tasks specified by the lecturer. This
project task will be relevant to the student's chosen
discipline focus and is often associated with the student's
current or intended employment responsibilities. The
finished project implementation will typically be a working
prototype.
The student is instructed in methodical approaches to the
researching, analysis, specification and implementation of
solutions to that engineering task, and then embarks on the
research, analysis, specification, implementation, evaluation
and reporting of the project solution. The student consults
regularly with the project supervisor, and produces a formal
project report.
