Leeruitkomsten
At the end of this study unit your are able to:
- find scientific articles that are relevant to a given topic by using a search engine;
- explain the conclusion(s) and goal(s) of the research in a given scientific article by summarizing part of the article;
- enforce arguments, verify or falsify a statement by using references to scientific articles at the correct point in a text in a consistent format;
- write experimentals in such a way that others that were not present and do not know about the experiment can repeat the following procedure and arrive at the same results:
- Machine type and manufacturer
- Pre-treatment of samples
- Measurement details
- Analysis of the results
- keep a lab journal that includes details of all experiments that are performed so all people involved in the research understood what was done;
- present results and observations depending on the type and amount of result:
- Graphs
- Tables
- Written sentences
- compare found results with results found in literature to determine whether something is expected or not and come up with a reasonable explanation why things are different by using references and differences in experimental procedures;
- write a conclusion that answers the original research question and explains all (most) observations;
- write an abstract that includes the research question, experimental design and conclusions in 5-10 sentences;
- extract information about special sensors by reading selected scientific articles;
- Understand some of the latest techniques applied in research on sensor technology by reading selected scientific articles;
- find and compare at least 3 scientific articles on a given topic to enhance critical thinking and draw conclusions;
- explain the principles and potential applications of modern research on sensor technology in a selected scientific article to an audience of semi-specialist.s
