ENGG 793 Graduate / Research Seminar (3-0-3)
This course aims at training doctoral graduate students to prepare seminars on the selected engineering contemporary topics in the area of their research problems. It enhances the students’ understanding of research in engineering so as to allow them to develop a framework for further learning about how to do research, the ability to present and lecture on critical analysis of material that one is not previously familiar with in their specialization, and developing wider reading skills and habits. Students should come up with description of the research project, current knowledge and expected contribution to knowledge.
