What it covers
This WIL spine unit forms the second half of a year long capstone sequence in which students plan, execute, and deliver a substantial engineering research or design project aligned with their major. Building on the foundational research and development completed in Final Year Capstone Project A or Engineering Technology Project A, this unit focuses on the design, implementation, and innovation stages of the project under the guidance of an academic supervisor. To meet AQF Level 8 outcomes and the Swinburne Engineering Competencies, students must demonstrate advanced professional and technical capability through substantial research and/or design work. Projects may involve experimental investigation, design and construction, programming, software development, modelling and simulation, or literature based research. Students work individually or in teams particularly for large, complex projects to deliver an engineering technology solution to an authentic industry challenge. Throughout the execution and delivery of the project, students apply advanced technical skills alongside project management and communication capabilities developed across their course.
