Abstract
This paper reflects upon the introduction of a Co-operative Project to the Curriculum for Masters Students studying Advanced Digital Control at the University of Adelaide’s School of Mechanical Engineering. The rationale for the project’s structure is presented and its effectiveness is assessed through consideration of student feedback and the success of the student team in a series of national and international competitions.
