Aims: To allow students to experience an in-depth, open-ended practical research project typical of research in an academic environment. To develop and reinforce the skills necessary for research work. Learning Outcomes: After studying the Unit, students should be able to: * Demonstrate advanced experimental techniques appropriate to the chosen project * Work with minimal supervision and guidance * Work safely in a laboratory in a manner commensurate with current legislation * Record experimental observations and data in an efficient manner * Conduct literature surveys to identify previous work in the area of the research topic * Critically analyse and evaluate literature data relating to the chosen area * Place and evaluate experimental results in the context of other researchers' work * Present results in a variety of formats (oral, written) * Demonstrate the ability to conduct and develop an experimental programme. Skills: Research Methods (T, F, A), numeracy (F, A), Problem solving (T, F, A) Scientific writing (F, A), Independent working (F). Content: A research topic will be selected in conjunction with a supervising member of staff and a program of experimental work planned. Regular contact with the supervisor will be maintained to offer guidance and formative feedback. In addition to the experimental aspects, appropriate library work will be conducted. Aspects of project planning, safety, report writing skills and oral presentations will be introduced as appropriate. |
