Requisites: In taking this module you cannot take CH30050 OR take CH30063 OR take CH40164 OR take CH40167
Learning Outcomes: After studying the Unit, students should be able to:
* Demonstrate advanced experimental techniques appropriate to the chosen project;
* Work with minimal supervision and guidance;
* Work safely in a laboratory in a manner commensurate with current legislation;
* Record experimental observations and data in an efficient manner;
* Conduct a literature survey to identify previous work in the area of the research topic;
* Place and evaluate experimental results in the context of other researchers' work;
* Present results in a variety of formats;
* Demonstrate the ability to conduct and develop an experimental programme.


Content: A research topic will be selected in conjunction with a supervising member of staff and a program of experimental work planned. In addition to the experimental aspects, appropriate library work will be conducted. Aspects of project planning, safety, report writing skills and oral presentations will be introduced as appropriate.

Skills: Research Methods (T,F,A), Numeracy (F, A), Problem solving (T, F, A), Scientific writing (F, A), Independent working (F).

Aims: To allow students to experience a practical, open-ended research project typical of research in an academic environment. To develop and reinforce the skills necessary for research work.
