Synopsis

The  unit  provides students with the ability to (critically) evaluate
research  literature including conference papers and journal  articles
in order to determine the current state of knowledge. In addition, the
unit  will provide students with the principles of research to  enable
them  to  conduct  research and prepare an original project  in  their
professional area of interest.

Students  will be instructed how to propose and justify an appropriate
research  plan for a particular research problem, to choose and  apply
appropriate methodology, to judge the degree to which conclusions  are
supported  by  data,  to  judge  the logical  consistency  of  written
material  and evaluate the outcome of a research project in  terms  of
useable  knowledge,  and  to  design,  defend  and  evaluate  research
proposals,  and  to  apply  techniques  for  writing  clear  and  well
expressed technical papers and reports.
