Abstract :
This papers aims to determine the requirements placed on a project management methodology (PMM) designed to assist undergraduate engineering students to manage their research projects. The study makes extensive use of the available literature and draw upon preliminary data from surveys and structured interviews with undergraduate engineers as well as interviews with academic supervisors and module conveners for engineering research project courses. This working paper presents the research methodology and the results to date on the development of the methodology that aims to stimulate external feedback on the existing results and the methodology under development.
