his unit will build on Research Methods 1 (CENGM0006), giving Research Engineers (REs) 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 plan for a given EngD project to demonstrate an overall grasp of the ideas presented in both Research Methods 1 and Research Methods 2 - 'the EngD in a day' workshop on Day 4 of the unit. This plan, in stages, is to be presented to peers and supervisors during the day in order to obtain formative feedback. The assessment requires a similar plan to be developed for the RE's project which is assessed by the lecturers on Research Methods 2 and feedback is made available to the RE's supervisory team.
