An independent research project introducing students to planning a research project, literature searching, design of equipment, development of project plan/timeline, laboratory work and/or computer simulations as well as presentation and research report writing.
The course provides an introduction to engineering research giving students experience in planning a research project, literature searching, design of equipment, development of an experimental plan or process modeling work as well as oral presentation and research report writing. Students choose a project from a list reflecting the research interests of the academic staff in the Department. Having made their choice, students then have a supervisor who will be available at least once a week to provide overall guidance during the project. The planning and execution of the project are the student’s responsibility with the supervisor kept fully informed.

Students are expected to spend 20 hours per week during Semester 2 on their project. Care must be taken to ensure that your group design project (ENCH494) does not take precedence over your research project. Both courses are weighted at 30 points.
Materials There is no formal textbook but students have access to the University Library that contains a wide variety of literature searching tools, engineering journals and other resources. The Department’s Mechanical and Electrical workshops are made available to students for the construction of experimental apparatus.
