Course Contents | To satisfy the requirements of the MSc in Structural Engineering, students must successfully complete the MSc Research Project. This is an individual project where the students are allowed to choose a topic in the content of Civil Engineering and specifically in the area of Civil Engineering that they are interested in i.e. Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering etc. Normally the decision on the topic is decided after consultation of students with various faculties.
With the MSc Research Proposal (CES590) course, students must consult with the faculty advisor in order to specify the objectives, decide on the methodology to be followed and a tentative time plan for the successful completion of the project.
The student, in consultation with his advisor, should conduct the necessary background reading so as to obtain a deep understanding of the problem area and better appreciate the problems faced and goals set. Students should also investigate appropriate research methods where applicable.
