Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

• Manage an individual research project
• Develop expertise in a specific area of research
• Implement appropriate technologies to address the scientific or engineering problem being studied
• Conduct experiments appropriate to the engineering problem being studied
• Assess / Evaluate data obtained in wetlab and computational experiments
• Integrate data obtained in wetlab and computational experiments
• Optimize experimental protocols and data presentation
• Plan experiments to test hypotheses based on obtained results

Transversal skills

• Assess progress against the plan, and adapt the plan as appropriate.
• Plan and carry out activities in a way which makes optimal use of available time and other resources.
• Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
• Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
• Keep appropriate documentation for group meetings.
• Demonstrate the capacity for critical thinking
• Demonstrate a capacity for creativity.
• Write a scientific or technical report.
• Collect data.
• Make an oral presentation.

Expected student activities

Students will focus on hands-on experimentation, which may be wetlab-based or computer-based, depending on the project. Students will read and discuss assigned papers from the original
scientific literature. As part of the evaluation process, students are required to submit a written report and give an oral presentation that summarizes and interprets their results.

Assessment methods

Resources

Bibliography

Appropriate reading materials will be assigned by the student's mentor depending on the nature of the research project. The assigned reading material will usually comprise original research papers, review articles, and secondary sources (e.g., books).
