Honours Project B unit (ENG426)

Introduction

This unit is a continuation of Honours Project A and ideally should be completed in the semester following Honours Project A. Students are expected to continue working on their honours projects, focusing on completing experiments, analyzing and evaluating results, and formulating meaningful conclusions. Regular meetings with supervisors will guide students in successfully completing their projects. Students have two options for fulfilling the written requirements: completing a draft and final thesis or submitting a paper to a peer-reviewed journal. The decision on the format should be made by week 6. This unit emphasizes the application of advanced engineering knowledge, data analysis, and effective communication of research findings through written and oral presentations.
