learning outcome

Students understand the basics of knowledge creation in engineering sciences. They know how to define a research topic, how to search for relevant literature, and why and how to cite. Methods: They learned to write research papers, how to review them, and can present results in talks with slides and posters. Soft skills: a major part of the class was a self-organized scientific workshop, for which the students have submitted papers, reviewed them, took part and organizeed the event including management and conference chairing (publication, web pages, finances, ...). Participants know how to organize a scientific event and how to collaborate in the organization in different roles.

content

The course is organized in three parts: a tutorial part where we study how to write research papers, review papers, design conference posters, write research proposals, and organize workshops and conferences. The second part is practical training, where every student will apply the new knowledge and will write and review papers, design conference posters, and take an active part in organizing a conference.

The concluding event will be the Annual RCSE Conference on Computer and Systems Engineering (CCSE) at the end of the term, which will be fully organized by the course participants.

Course topics are

  • Reading and writing papers
  • Presenting scientific work
  • Designing conference posters
  • Writing research proposals
  • Reviewing papers
  • Organizing workshops and conferences.
