Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Private Space vs Public Space: A Scientific and Economic Review

In this project, you will research the benefits and negatives of privately funded space companies or government funded. As there are many facets of the private and public space debate, the project can be an amalgamation of topics based on your interests. Topics to dive into can be, but are not limited to: Scientific advances completed by each sector, current engineering practices, current engineering advances, economic factors, political factors and more. The process of writing this review will be conducting a thorough literature search, learning to find a gap in the research, and critically analyze literature. You will gain skills in writing and editing, as well as an in-depth knowledge of your chosen research topic.
