This unit is intended to develop professional research skills for planning scientific/engineering research projects with academic and industrial impacts. The students will learn how to critically review research papers in the area of interest, identify potential research subjects, and propose research projects, which are the core skills underpinning a successful research career. The activities within this unit are aligned with their individual research projects.
On successful completion of the unit, students will be able to:
The unit will comprise seminars, tutorials, individual works on literature reviews related to research projects.
100% literature review
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. AENGM0036).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
