Description
Formulate a significant and original research problem relevant to the field of engineering, addressing a gap in knowledge or practice through innovative, evidence based, and entrepreneurial approach.
1. Research Foundations
Focuses on building advanced technical, analytical, and research skills through four core coursework units. Students begin their research journey by developing their initial proposal, culminating in a formal Research Proposal unit where they complete a literature review and demonstrate readiness for doctoral study. Successful completion confirms their candidature.
2. Advanced Research and Specialization
Combines advanced coursework with applied research. Students undertake two elective units while progressing their research through the Doctoral Dissertation Research Paper units. Building on the research proposal developed at the end of Year 1, which serves as the roadmap for their doctoral journey, students begin to actively implement and follow their research plan. During this stage, they deepen their disciplinary knowledge, apply advanced theories to real world industry challenges, and continue strengthening their research capabilities. These research paper units also provide a valuable opportunity for publication, which is highly encouraged, though not mandatory.
3. Hydrogen in the Power Industry
Engineers will explore a wide array of design, implementation, and safety considerations in hydrogen technologies. Graduates with the program’s certificate will hold a competitive advantage in the job market, well-prepared for the demands of hydrogen engineering and management.
