Aims
This topic aims for students to continue developing their research implementation skills through an industrial placement in a scientific research laboratory (usually within professional research environments on campus, but occasionally off campus with collaborating research laboratories, under the guidance of a different academic supervisor and project to that undertaken in the prerequisite Research Project 1 topic) and learn new skills in reporting outcomes. Students will learn about constructing research grant proposals and the peer-review process of grant applications. Students will learn about dissemination of research outcomes through attending and critically assessing research seminars and giving a final presentation at a mini-conference at the end of the topic. They will also receive training in how to write a conference paper (simulated journal article) as a form of final report.These aims will thus develop each student's advanced professional and generic skills of planning, carrying out and reporting research activities; developing written and oral communication skills in a scientific context; and in fostering independent thinking, allow them to be able to make informed, justifiable scientific arguments.
