Description
In this module, the students will work on an advanced research project in small teams (max 4 students) during term 3 and summer period. The project topics will be provided by industry whenever possible, and supervised by staff members in the department; they will be computational, experimental, or mixed. The students will be evaluated on their individual contribution to the research projects through peer assessment, oral portfolio, and interview during the final presentation.

Aim of the module
The aim of the module is to engage students in a novel research project, combining the design, characterisation and manufacturing of nano-engineered materials, and their applications in engineering problems. The module will help students develop independent research skills based on the integrated knowledge and techniques they learnt from all modules of this program, and work collaboratively in a team to propose a research question and find answers by thorough scientific investigation, with focuses on novelty, originality and robustness.

Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students will be able to:
- Formulate a novel research idea based on review of current literature
- Design a research methodology to answer the defined research question, accounting for: novelty, sustainability, practicality, resources, for future manufacturing and nanoscale engineering
- Demonstrate viability of proposed research methodology, e.g. risk management and data-driven evidence of decision making
- Demonstrate advanced knowledge and application of a variety of research techniques, both computational and experimental
- Disseminate effectively the research outcomes to a technical audience
