This unit will build on Research Methods 1, giving Research Engineers (RE) a deeper understanding of the purposes of research, research design strategies and application of research methods when conducting research on complex systems of various kinds. On this basis, students will be required to develop a formal systems research proposal for their EngD topic. A paper on this will be drafted and presented to peers and supervisors during the unit in order to obtain formative feedback. This will be expanded into a formal research proposal for later assessment.
