Prerequisite Modules:
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
The aim of the project is to enable the student to research, analyse and present a particular chosen topic or problem.
The objective of the project is to:
- Provide experience with defining and organising a selected research topic;
- Provide familiarity with collecting and analysing primary and secondary sources of data;
- Obtain deeper insight into the topic selected;
- Integrate aspects learned from previously studied modules;
Syllabus:
The student chooses, in conjunction with a member of Faculty, an AI research topic, which best suits his or her interests and abilities, keeping in mind the time and resources that are available. The satisfactory completion of the project requires the student to present their own work, and to demonstrate the ability to investigate the chosen topic independently by displaying a mastery of the literature and research relevant to the research topic and the ability to analyse and interpret findings of such readings and literature.
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
Upon successful completion of this module students will be able to:
1. Iteratively refine their research questions in the light of their literature review.
2. Prepare a coherent research methodology to be followed for their project.
3. Perform that research methodology to the highest professional standards.
4. Analyse the results obtained in accordance with a recognised research paradigm.
5. Organise these research results in a coherent, logical manner.
6. Summarise the research which they have completed in a written form that adheres to academic and professional standards.
Affective (Attitudes and Values)
Upon successful completion of this module students will be able to:
1. Differentiate from various research methodologies that could be used to address
their research questions ;
2. Demonstrate a high level of self-motivation and drive;
3. Appreciate the ethical concerns associated with empirical studies and design the study accordingly.
