I have attached 2 files. The file is the assignment explained in details split into 4 tasks. 
In
this assignment, you will demonstrate a critical understanding of appropriate
research
methods and approaches associated with creating
project proposals and reports. Your work here
requires you to form a suitable research
question / problem statement, providing an opportunity
to explore an in depth-technical area relevant
to your pathway specialism( software engineering), that directly relates to the Major Project work you will complete at the
end of Level 6(Scour Assesment tool.
A scour assesement tool is a tool used to evaluate the potential or actual scouring(erosion) around bridge foundations, piers e.t.c. Scour ids caused by the flow of water and can undermine the stability of these structures. 
This is what the research is going to be on in relations to software engneering.
You will compare how Scour is normally detected and how software engineering can make it easier and more effeicent to use. You can ask chat gpt for more understanding of the topic itself or you can ask me.
The second file saved as “Bridge Asset Classification and Analysis” are the steps needed to create the scour Assessment tool. Please use this in the assigment to help with all the tasks. Any questions please let me know

· The benefits of using generative AI in higher education learning materials and assessments outweigh any ethical risks and challenges associated with it, especially in South Africa.  
You need to decide what position you will adopt on this topic – and on the provided statement itself. Do you agree with the statement? Why? Do you disagree? Why? Do you agree and/or disagree with certain parts of the statement? Which parts, and why?  

The final project report should have the following sections:
1) Abstract
2) Introduction
3) Methods/Results 
4) Conclusions and future outloook
5) If relevant, ethics 
Should be a minimum of 5-pages excluding references. It can include tables, figures, etc. 1 inch margins, single spaced. 
This report should be an extension of your presentation. I will consider anything beyond 5-pages towards extra credit for this class (up to 10% of class grade).
