X – year of study ;
Y – 1st or 2nd semester;
Z – 8 if full time, 9 if part time;

 

Specialized topics for the projects are selected from on going research projects carried out in the Engineering Faculties or in the Department of Mathematics. Topics will have substantial combination of mathematics and engineering aspects. Students will conduct this research project, demonstrating their ability to critically evaluate existing research literature, to place the research into a theoretical and practical context and to exhibit knowledge and understanding of Engineering Mathematics.
