Satisfactory performance in course GMAT4000 is a prerequisite for GMAT4001. GMAT4001 is to be taken in the last session required for the completion of all requirements for the award of the BE. Generally, the thesis involves directed laboratory, investigatory, design, field or research work on an approved subject under the guidance of members of the academic staff. Session 2 (Part B) is for the major part of the thesis work. Students are required to report on their work at a thesis conference in Week 15, Session 2 and to present a written report on the work undertaken in this course. A supervisor guides each student, but the successful completion of the project, the writing of the thesis and the submission of two bound copies by specified deadlines, for example, are the sole responsibility of the student. Students are required to submit a log book and report detailing at least 60 days of professional practice (industrial training).
