CEM- SE

Course name: 1. SEMINAR Goal of the course:

The course will present an overview of diversified aspects/issues of construction industry to

graduate students in Construction Engineering & Management and Structural Engineering and to equip

students with basis knowledge/skills to conduct their research in the future

Objectives of the course:

The objectives of this course are to:

1. Help students to be familiar with multiple issues and diversified topics in construction

management/structural engineering through presentations

2. Enhance student’s presentation and communication skills

3. Promote active learning/teaching methods through different interactive activities among

students and between students and lecturers

4. Give participants basis guidelines about how to choose possible research topics and steps

to conduct their future research

5. Improve student’s English

Organization of the course:

- This course consists of presentations made by invited speakers, professors and students. Form

of the presentation could be: 1) case study; 2) Interesting papers/research topics; 3)

contemporary/hot issues in construction industry

- Presentation will take 50-75% of class time (60- 75 minutes)

- Break time (15 minutes)

- Q&A and group discussion will take around 25-50% of class time (30 - 45 minutes)

Requirements of the course:

This course is mandatory.

Active learning and teaching methods are expected. Interaction among students and between

students and lecturers by of asking questions, group discussion are highly encouraged

After each seminar, each student must submit a report. In general, the report should be a review

of the whole presentation including Q&A section. The report should be well organized and

30

written. The submitted report must be in both electronic (i.e., Word or PDF) and hard (i.e.,

printed out version) copies. Reports must be submitted to the class coordinator no later than one

week after the presentation.

Each student has to make at least one presentation (i.e., in Powerpoint format). Topics chosen

can be related to student’s studying program or future research (i.e., Master thesis).

Evaluation:

Grading system will be as follows:

+ Participation: 20 %

+ Report: 40 %

+ Presentation: 40 %

- Grade < 70 %: failed.

Time and Date:

+ Date: Friday (to be informed at least 3 days ahead of time)

+ Time: 15:30 – 18:00

Part of the course is taught by invited speakers so a schedule for the whole term may be difficult

to be fixed at the beginning. All the efforts shall be made to ensure that participants will be informed at

least 3 days ahead of time.

Course name: 2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY & RESEARCH PROCESS and PROPOSAL - WRITING UP A MASTER THESIS

I. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY& RESEARCH PROCESS Scientific methods consist of systematic observation, classification and interpretation of data. The research process is similar to undertaking a journey.

For a research journey there are two important decisions to make: 1) What you want to find out about or what research questions (problems) you want to find answers to; 2) How to go about finding their answers:

1. Formulating the Research Problem

2. Extensive Literature Review 3. Developing the objectives

4. Preparing the Research Design including Sample Design 5. Collecting the Data

6. Analysis of Data 7. Generalisation and Interpretation

8. Preparation of the Report or Presentation of Results

Formal write ups of conclusions reached. Step 1. Identify a Research Theme Step 2. Identify an Advisor

Step 3. Perform a thorough review of the literature Step 4. Formulate hypotheses or research questions

Step 5. Run experiments Step 6. Analyse your results

Step 7. Submit papers to conferences or journals Step 8. Present your work at conferences

Preparation for a research proposal - Very first ideas within only 1 page

- Structure a research proposal in details within 3 pages.
