The critical review will cover the key points covered in the lecture and identify any potential benefits, barriers and opportunities for implementing the particular advanced topic in an engineering context. Students will be provided a detailed brief and template for this task. Students will only be able complete a review on lecture topics attended according to a signed register.
Key points to cover in each 2 page paper (some flexibility in areas covered):

• Strictly follow the provided conference paper template format
• Overview of advanced topic (e.g. sustainability in engineering)
• Context in which advanced topic is applied (e.g. multi-industry)
• Critical review on the topic presented referring both to the lecture and published material (i.e. what is the current best practice and application)
• Summary of the opportunities for exploiting the advanced topic in a particular context (i.e. can we use this to improve process or product in engineering)
• Summary of the benefits of the advanced topic in a particular context (i.e. saves time and money, improves the environment, social benefits, etc.)
• Summary of the barriers to the widespread application of the advanced topic (i.e. lacking human skills, technology, lacking investment, government policy or restrictions, feasibility of implementation, etc.)
• Avenues for research, investigation and policy change to enhance the rate of diffusion of this particular advanced topic in a particular context (i.e. if we understand this particular aspect further we can implement more, cost-benefit analysis, ensure quality sufficiently high enough, etc.)
