About this Unit

Environmental Research Project is a unit that tasks students with developing and carrying out a laboratory or field-based research project relevant to their major and stream. This is a capstone-type unit, preparing students for employment in a range of workplaces including Federal, State and Local Government, environment and conservation agencies, environmental consulting firms and nongovernment organisations. It will be particularly useful for students wishing to pursue postgraduate study in terrestrial, coastal or marine research. Students will review and put into practice, skills gained through their major (e.g. experimental design, field sampling and data analysis skills). They then develop a research question, design a study and collect samples and/or observational data to address their hypothesis. The on-campus practical sessions are set aside for processing of samples and data analysis. Student will produce a research paper on their particular study, demonstrating the application of their scientific research skills, to the specifications of one of a range of relevant journals. They will get feedback to allow final submission of their article. High achieving students will have the opportunity to conduct individual research projects.
