Course Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to enhance graduate students’ ability to effectively communicate their research progress and findings. Through student presentations, peer discussions, and invited talks from experts across various disciplines and institutions, students will broaden their scientific perspective, develop critical analysis skills, and foster academic networking.
Course Content
Each student is required to present objective and scope of his/her research subject, and actively participate in the discussions of other students presentations.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
-Present research progress and results clearly, concisely, and systematically in oral form using appropriate visual and technical tools.
-Demonstrate an understanding of diverse research approaches, methodologies, and applications across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines.
-Critically assess research presentations, identify strengths and weaknesses, and provide constructive feedback to peers.
-Engage effectively in scholarly discussions by asking insightful questions and responding appropriately to audience queries.
-Recognize current trends, challenges, and opportunities in their own field and related areas through exposure to external expert speakers.
-Apply principles of academic integrity, proper citation, and ethical conduct in research communication
