This course is restricted to those students undertaking the Chief of Defence Force Students (CDFS) Program. Students enrolled in this course will undertake group work projects under the guidance of a research supervisor. These projects will be based upon current research activities within the department. Assessment will be in the form of a presentation of their group work and a written research paper. In addition to the project, students will receive specialist lectures and assignments in research-related topics such as measurement techniques, mathematical techniques, uncertainty analysis and presentation of data.
