PG Course Work Project is usually completed in two consecutive semesters during the last academic year. Students will work in teams to conduct a research based project. The project contains a large amount of original research and/or novel design work or analysis. It is not the responsibility of the supervisor to tell the student team what to do, nor should it be assumed that the supervisor is an expert in all areas of engineering. They are there to offer guidance and advice, as are laboratory staff, workshop staff, and others in the school that may have expertise in the area of your project. The successful execution of the project is solely the responsibility of the student.

Project A is to be taken in the second last semester required for the completion of all requirements for the award of the degree. This course, together with MMAN9002 Project B, which is to be taken in the following semester, requires each student to demonstrate managerial, technical and professional skills in planning and executing an approved engineering project within a stipulated time limit. Each student is guided by a supervisor, but successfully planning, executing and reporting on the project are the sole responsibility of the student team.
