Undergraduate thesis

If you're enrolling in CMEA498/499 Thesis A/B (Annual), you'll receive a SOLS mail in February, guiding you to nominate preferences from a list of topics and supervisors. Feel free to approach individual academics directly to discuss topics you're interested in. Once you've got the green light from the supervisor, just let the thesis coordinator know when you receive the SOLS mail in February. 

For those embarking on thesis projects in their final year, available topics can be found in the specified areas below. If you're taking on a thesis, express your preferences in the lower section of this page. Choose preferences that align with your enrolled degree, using the designated code. For example, electrical engineers might indicate 1st Pref.: A.1; 2nd Pref.: C.1, etc. If you have specific areas in mind, feel free to note them down, such as A.1 Power quality – monitoring. Before finalising your choices, be sure to carefully review. 

You should select at least two preferences; the third is optional. It should be noted that whilst attempts are made to take preferences into account, these are only one of several factors affecting thesis topic allocation and the examples given are only that - examples.

• Electrical engineering students: can select preferences from any of the areas.
• Computer engineering students: can select preferences from areas B and C only.
• Telecommunications engineering students: select preferences from C only.
• Mechatronics engineering students: can select preferences from areas A, B and C.1 only, e.g., A.1 and B.2 or A.2 and C.1. 

A.1 Power quality and reliability 

For example equipment behaviour, modelling techniques, monitoring and data analysis, power conditioning, power system disturbances, standards and management. 

A.2 Power electronic

For example converters, renewable energy sources, simulation techniques, variable speed drives. 

A.3 Renewable energy and distributed generation

For example integration of wind and solar generation, energy storage. 

B.1 Computer systems 

For example micro-controllers, computer-assisted instructional systems, embedded systems, web-based systems, and computer architecture.

B.2 Mechatronics 

For example control systems, vehicular systems, real-time control, robotics, and servomechanisms. 

B.3 Machine learning 

For example probabilistic and multidimensional modelling, pattern recognition, bio­metrics and biomedical applications.

C.1 Digital signal processing

For example audio processing and segmentation, image processing, intelligent information processing, speech processing, speech and audio compression, video processing, and optoelectronics signal processing. 

C.2 Computer networks 

For example traffic engineering, network design and modelling, mobile computing, and wireless communications. 

Thesis project selection form

If you're enrolling in THES400, you'll receive a SOLS mail guiding you to nominate preferences from a list of topics and supervisors. Meanwhile, you can approach individual academics directly for supervision on specific topics. If the supervisor agrees, inform the thesis coordinator upon receiving the SOLS mail.

If you're enrolling in MMMB498/499 Thesis A/B (Annual), you'll receive a SOLS mail in February, guiding you to nominate preferences from a list of topics and supervisors. Feel free to approach individual academics directly to discuss topics you're interested in. Once you've got the green light from the supervisor, just let the thesis coordinator know when you receive the SOLS mail in February.
