(The term ‘research’ is interpreted loosely and may be taken to include an advanced engineering design project and/or an industrial based engineering project, in addition to traditional university-based, fundamental scientific research).This will include:<ul> <li>The use of the literature to support and set into context the findings of the research, design and/or industrial engineering project</li> <li>The ethical presentation of science and engineering in the written format</li> <li>The handling of uncertainty arising from the laboratory or engineering design practices employed and data sources</li> <li>The practice of experimental techniques or engineering design method and investigative techniques.</li></ul></div> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">On successful completion of CHEN61000, a student will be able to… (1) <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Summarize the state of the science and technology or engineering practice in the chosen subject. (2) Describe clearly how the core work has been carried out. (3) Analyse a scientific, engineering or technological problem and synthesise appropriate methods to investigate it. (4) Discuss the purpose of the research, design and/or industrial engineering project and its significance in relation to relevant previous work reported in the literature using suitable citation and referencing formats. (5) Draw appropriate conclusions and synthesise recommendations from the results of a scientific/engineering investigation. (6) Record, analyse and discuss the results of scientific research and/or engineering design and/or an industrial engineering project. (7) Carry out research, design or engineering practice in a subject in a relevant field, using a logical, systematic and scientific approach. (8) Work effectively on a project acquiring and applying multidisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary skills and research design and/or industrial engineering tools. (9) Structure and present a satisfactory technical report on a research and/or engineering project. (10) Abstract and summarise relevant information on a research and/or engineering project. (11) Demonstrate time-keeping and organizational skills from managing the research project. (12) Formulate objectives for the research, design and/or industrial engineering project. (13) Summarise appropriate and relevant health, safety, environmental and ethical issues. <div> The emphasis of this programme unit is on the conduct of independent research and/or independent work on an engineering project. As a consequence the learning and teaching processes are geared toward the practical experience of the student and self-directed investigative activities. The student will be supported via regular meetings and guidance from one or more members of the supervisory group.</div>   0 Other 100% <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Dissertation Report - 90%<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Supervisor Evaluation - 10% Feedback will be available via the virtual learning environment and during supervisory meetings.
