 Learning Outcomes:

 On completion of this course students are expected to:

  have a good understanding of various research methods;
 
  be able to demonstrate their ability to plan and carry out independent research work;
 
  be able to demonstrate solid evaluation, analysis and discussion of research results;
 
  have developed skills for professional presentation of their results in the research report as well as the oral presentation

 Synopsis:

 This course consists of an individual research project selected by the student working under supervision of a member of the academic staff. Topics are usually selected from aspects of a continuing research speciality of the department. Each student normally undertakes a literature survey, experimental and/or modelling work, and analysis of data.

Dissertation: Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering (BENV0089)

Students following the MSc Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering are required to submit a 10,000-word dissertation. The dissertation provides students the opportunity to develop a substantial piece of work in a topic of their choice. Students apply what they have learnt in the taught-components of the programme and autonomously tackle, with the help of a supervisor, an important subject within the field of Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering. The dissertation project is also an opportunity for students to research, in-depth, a topic of their own interest and develop skills to conduct a detailed theoretical and empirical research on that topic.

The topic of the dissertation, which is supervised by a member of BSEER staff, is selected by the student in agreement with the programme director. It can be taken from a wide range of subjects related to the main themes of the programme and may be selected to assist career development or because of its inherent interest. Collaboration with industry for the selection of dissertation projects will be encouraged and facilitated whenever possible.

The aims of the dissertation module are to:

· Apply the theory, methods and research knowledge acquired over the programme to a substantial, research-based study.

· Collect or collate, prepare and appropriately analyse primary data

· Gain a specialist knowledge in the chosen subject area

· Contribute to the development of knowledge in the chosen subject area

· Extend academic skills to a more substantial study
