Biotechnology Research Project Part 2 (SCIE90029)

This subject provides students with the opportunity to design and conduct independent research under supervision. Specific research projects will depend upon the availability of appropriate expertise, but may address a broad range of biotechnology issues. 

Students will also develop skills in writing scientific reports and giving oral presentations. 

This subject must be taken as a pair; SCIE90028 Biotechnology Research Project Part 1 (12.5 points) plus SCIE90029 Biotechnology Research Project Part 2 (12.5 points). These subjects are equivalent to SCIE90016 Biotechnology Research Project (25 points). 

Intended learning outcomes

After completing this subject students should have:

• evaluate and critically integrate relevant literature and scientific findings for a biotechnology research project;
• formulate a process by which a researcher can translate an original idea into a final written thesis;
• design and initiate experimental studies to generate data for a biotechnology research project; and
• develop and apply effective communication practices in written, oral and other forms.
