The unit is designed to enable the student to synthesise the knowledge and skills gained through their prior studies through completion of an applied research project.

This is the second unit of a continued project study process involving four research project units that cumulatively add to a major piece of research work.

The four units should be designed in phases so that they are clearly delineated and may be assessed separately.

The project/s can take many forms but students are encouraged to complete a work-place based study. Some suggestions include:

• a transport plan for a new or existing business or new function within a business;
• an analysis of a transport process in an organisation with proposal for implementation;
• development of  a transport related Web page for a business or entity; or
• an instructional, informational or marketing video presenting transport related research or development proposals for a business or entity.

Prior approval must be obtained from the Unit Coordinator while original ideas can be discussed with an appropriate supervisor for approval and advice. The project must be of a standard suitable for a business presentation to a client or employer without amendment.
