The project is intended to apply the student's total formal knowledge to a real problem at the appropriate professional level. In this sense it will develop and test the ability to define and analyse the problem, to develop solutions to the problem, to make the necessary decisions, convert ideas into useful outcomes and to cope with the unexpected problems encountered in testing and evaluation. All of this must be accomplished against a tight timescale within resource limitations and with due regard for safety, social and ethical considerations. In short, the project is a good test of overall ability in engineering or surveying or GIS.
