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
