For the Project unit in the HND courses, the students are required to work in groups of about 3 students over a period of 2 semesters in subject areas relevant to their courses. The projects provide an opportunity for the students to apply their knowledge gained from the HND courses in practical situations and therefore helping them to further enhance such knowledge. Problem-solving type of project is especially encouraged although other types of project such as comparative study and case review are also welcomed. The problem solving projects would benefit the construction industry in Brunei Darussalam.

At the end of Semester 5, each group of students are required to submit a written document summarising their project works and findings. They are also required to present their works to our members of staff and invited guests from the industry.

The research projects carried out by our HND Students for the year of 2007 are listed in the following tables:
