Synopsis

This unit is intended to build on the body of knowledge developed in MNE4050. The full year project is meant to be challenging and result in an in depth understanding of a topic in a particular area related to mining engineering. This unit must be taken with MNE4050 Research Project I to form a full year project. The decision must be made at the time of choosing the project topic for MNE4050. Students must undertake an individual self-guided learning task in the form of a research project. The emphasis will be more on data gathering, analysis and modelling as appropriate to the project topic. The result will be a technical paper suitable for a mining conference such those hosted by the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), the professional association for Mining Engineers in Australia. The project may be undertaken within the department or externally within a company. In either case, an academic member of staff will act as the supervisor.

Outcomes

At the conclusion of this unit, students should be able to:

  1. design and assemble appropriate resources necessary to support the research investigation (e.g. test apparatus and equipment, computer models, survey forms,
  2. manage a research project to successful completion - achieve objectives within required timeframe with available resources
  3. assemble and analyse results of investigation
  4. compose relevant conclusions and recommendations against the project objectives
  5. present the research results in the form of a seminar
  6. prepare a document to the standards required for a conference hosted by Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), the professional association for Mining Engineers in Australia

Assessment

Practical work (conference paper and seminar presentation): 100%

Workload requirements

One hour of consultation with supervisor per week and 11 hours per week working on the project.
