All fourth year undergraduate students at the University of Auckland (following) must enroll in a research project that requires 25% of their time for a year (separate from the design-and-build course that must also be undertaken). They must show evidence of developing a literature review, defining a research question, undertaking analysis of the problem and its solution, followed by an individual report, an oral conference presentation, and a separate poster session.
