Satisfactory performance in subject GMAT4010 is a prerequisite for GMAT4015. GMAT4015 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. Each student is 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, as well as GMAT4010. The student is guided by a supervisor, 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.
