Aims
To evaluate the academic research process and the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake research in the built environment and to develop a research proposal.
To increase skills in research, time management, presentation, written communication by completing a substantial individual piece of work; and to facilitate the opportunity to carry out independent research on a selected subject.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify a research question, problem or hypothesis and establish aims and objectives to support the investigation within an ethical framework
2.
Collate, and appraise existing knowledge in the chosen field and present a critical evaluation in the form of a literature review.
3.
Develop and refine a research and data collection strategy appropriate to the research question/problem posed.
4.

Additional Information:
The research project enables students to complete an in-depth study on a topic related to their chosen discipline. The module applies students' practical research skills and enhances their knowledge and expertise in the selected subject area. As the completion is principally student-led the module offers the opportunity to further develop time management, presentation and communication skills.
A supervisor will be nominated at the beginning of the module to work individually with each student.
As a prerequisite for the CW2 – Report submission, the student must complete the CW1 - Report and Presentation.
