Course overview and goals
Students have experience of research projects to understand the actual aspects of scientific research in each specialized academic field, which would rise up a wide range of interest in scientific and engineering researches. The student will learn basic concepts, methodology of analysis, experiments and discussion through the process for solving specific problems in the laboratory. Finally, the student will make a report document and presentation of the findings and
discussions obtained from the research project.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1) Understand and explain the purpose, methodology as well as principle and significance of
the research in the specific field.
2) Acquire specific methodology such as experimental and analytical skills related to the research field and skills of logical thinking, discussion and writing.
3) Make effective presentations of the research.
