Introduction to Research

Description

Research is the key to human society’s development. On the academy side, it continuously builds new knowledge and proposes new skills for the teaching-learning to students of each new generation. The researchers play hence a primordial role in the Higher Education Institutions (Universities, Engineering schools among others). On the industry side, it consolidates the leadership on the market and prepares the introduction of new products and techniques. Research activities are based on high-level brain skills development. And these ones rely on many cognitive skills that only graduate students may acquire. It is the reason why in this module we introduce cognitive and communication skills, methodology for information organization and critic thinking; in other terms, some important keys to understand the amazing world of the Research. Interestingly, the student will also have to apply these knowledges and skills in-situ thanks to the participation of researchers of the Isep who are working in Sciences and Technologies based projects in the Laboratory of Informatic, System, Image, Telecom and Electronics (LISITE). Then we expect that the participants will have a full picture of the research, and this way may reveal hidden talent for this amazing discipline, real pillar of the human society. Educational objectives The student will be able to: • (SO_1) auto-evaluate my research potentials • (SO_2) demonstrate the acquisition of selected research skills according to the context • (SO_3) report a research activity in the form of a presentation and/or poster Prerequisite • None
