Aims
To understand the academic research process and the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake engineering research in the built environment
To develop a research proposal that can be taken forward to the final year research project
Learning Outcomes
1.
Appraise, compare and interpret key theories, concepts and methodological issues related to engineering research in the built environment.
2.
Explain and relate the nature and purpose of each stage in the research process and be able to justify options.
3.
Design and propose a research project on a specific area of study, including ethical consideration.

• Ethical principles in research
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to understand the academic research process and the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake engineering research in the built environment. You will develop a research proposal that can be taken forward to the final year research project.
The aim of this module is to understand the academic research process and the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake engineering research in the built environment. You will develop a research proposal that can be taken forward to the final year research project.
Additional Information:The research methods module enables students to develop an engineering research proposal that could potentially be used for their final year research project. A supervisor will be nominated at the beginning of the module to work individually with each student.
In this module, the knowledge learning outcomes are K3, K4, K6 and K8.
