5~733 Research Project<br />
25 credit points<br />
No. <strong>of</strong> hours per week: eight hours<br />
Assessment: dissertation<br />
Subject description<br />
This subject gives the student the opportunity to apply subject<br />
matter studies in other course subjects to instrumentationrelated<br />
problems in a specific field <strong>of</strong> interest. Where possible<br />
the projects are industry-sponsored and have relevance to the<br />
student's area <strong>of</strong> employment.<br />
Cooperation between pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in industry and/or health<br />
care and supervising staff at <strong>Swinburne</strong> help develop the<br />
student's competence. Each project requires a literature survey<br />
and theoretical andlor experimental investigation. Results and<br />
conclusions presented in a written dissertation and verbal<br />
presentation.<br />

Major Project<br />
50 credit points<br />
No. <strong>of</strong> hours per week: sixteen hours in second<br />
semester<br />
Assessment: report<br />
Subject description<br />
A major individual research project assessed by report. Projects<br />
