Hi All... I am still looking for a thesis subject/title that will tie in with a prospective job. I am in the field of energy in buildings/renewable energy. I'm trying to find a topic that will encompass a commercial role so that I can work and play! My role is to produce renewable energy feasibility reports and engage with architects who need building services to fulfil planning applications. Am i being too ambitious ... any advice.

Please help...... cheers

hi Dlim, Im not in ur field but surely regardless ur title depends on what research YOU want to do and are being funded to do? the only way to find this is to read the literature now, find out what is lacking, see if you want to work on that, if you have valuable, novel ideas etc and discuss these with supervisors to determine the feasability of the project...if its all good go for it, your job will come from it in the end, you cant envisiage what job opportunities are available now for 3+ years time so dont let that hold you back

Hi Algaequeen,

Thanks for the advice. I guess the key the emphasis is on WANT to do. I will keep reading the literature and background stuff with this in mind. I think I'm getting to hung up on the job prospects stuff! Good to speak and thanks again.
