The aim of this subject is to develop your ability to manage a research project in the maritime, transport, logistics and related areas. In order to develop your research project skills, this subject explains the research project process. This includes the identification of the research problem, review of relevant literature, data collection and analysis and writing and presentation of the research report. The subject will also teach you how to manage research resources, meet expectations and deliver the project within the established time frame.

Given that the purpose of this subject is to undertake a research project in an area of your own interest, there is no specific study guide provided. Instead, you will apply what you have learnt in other subjects to your research project. The research project is conducted under the guidance/supervision of the unit coordinator. Should you have any problems with this subject, please contact me in the first instance by email or telephone. Alternatively, raise your questions during classes. Contact details are included within this booklet. You are strongly encouraged to consult with me about your research topic from the commencement of the semester and any matters arising during the process of conducting your research project.
