To be taken in the second last session required for the completion of all requirements for the award of the degree. This course, together with MMAN44020 Thesis B, which is to be taken in the following session, 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 also required to report on their project work at a thesis conference which is organised under MMAN4000 Professional Engineering. Each student is guided by a supervisor, but successfully planning, executing and reporting on the project is the sole responsibility of each student. Thesis A does not require the submission of a thesis document. A satisfactory grade in this course is provisional pending successful completion of MMAN4020.
A nominal 1 HPW has been allocated for student consultation with supervisor. Consultation should be arranged to allow both student and supervisor to regularly monitor the progress of the project.
