309989 (v.2) Mining Research Project 432

Area: Department of Mining Engineering
Credits: 25.0
Contact Hours: 3.0
Tuition Patterns: The tuition pattern provides details of the types of classes and their duration. This is to be used as a guide only. Precise information is included in the unit outline.
Individual Study: 1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Seminar: 1 x 2 Hours Fortnightly
Prerequisite(s): 309990 (v.2) Mining Research Project 431 or any previous version
Syllabus: This unit follows directly from 309990 Mining Research Project 431 in which the research project nominated in Semester 1 is completed and a dissertation submitted. The two units as a whole are designed to develop the capability and requisite skills of an engineer to build a foundation of knowledge related to a particular industry-related problem. This foundation provides a basis on which to design a solution that is robust and safe, cost effective and appropriate to the end-user. It is essential that this foundation reflects not only established thinking and practices but equally important, it should account for divergent and newly developing views as well as any limitations or weaknesses that underpin current understanding. The quality of the engineering solution is therefore a function of quality, timing and written and verbal reporting of the investigation; an investigation that forms part of a process known as research.
Unit references, texts, outcomes and assessment details The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline.
