The dissertation is the single most important component of an engineering degree, not only carrying the most marks, but bridging from academic study to professional practice. Achieving Success with the Engineering Dissertation describes the different types of dissertation, how to pick the best project and how a student can prepare themselves to succeed with their own dissertation. The authors explain how best to plan and execute the project, including the roles of the student, supervisor and project sponsor, and what they should expect from each other. Further material includes details of competitions that can be entered with dissertation projects, presentation of data, using the dissertation in job interviews, and creating research publications. Achieving Success with the Engineering Dissertation will be of use to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in all fields of Engineering, and to their supervisors. 606 $aEngineering?Vocational guidance 606 $aDissertations, Academic 606 $aTechnical education 606 $aJob Careers in Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009 606 $aThesis and Dissertation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O53080 606 $aEngineering/Technology Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O43000 615 0$aEngineering?Vocational guidance. 615 0$aDissertations, Academic. 615 0$aTechnical education. 615 14$aJob Careers in Science and Engineering. 615 24$aThesis and Dissertation. 615 24$aEngineering/Technology Education. 676 $a620.0023 700 $aGratton$b Petra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058788 702 $aGratton$b Guy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373902903321 996 $aAchieving Success with the Engineering Dissertation$92502499 997 $aUNINA
