  • What Makes a Good Science and Engineering Project?

    Description

    		Aerospace engineer and scientist Theodore von Kármán, who directed the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at Caltech and was involved in founding NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is credited with formulating a simple distinction between science and engineering, which is “science seeks to understand what is, while engineering seeks to create what never was”. While the goal of science is fundamentally different from that of engineering, they both depend on each other in order for scientists and engineers to come up with new useful applications. In this talk, the speaker will share his/her view on the qualities that increase the chances of a project to result in good science and successful engineering.

  • Methodology and Data Collection

    Description

    		A well thought action plan for your research is half the battle won. Just as important are the types of data collected, how the right type of data will give your solution more depth and credibility. Learn the ways to plan your research as well as the types of data that can / should be collected.

  • Data Analysis

    Description

    		How can we make use of data to gain insight on what is happening in our experiment? The answer is data analysis. In this lecture, students will have a better understanding of how to discover important patterns in the data collected, how to interpret and then communicate your results to have the biggest possible impact. Students will also learn some of the basic statistical methods like mean, standard deviation and t-test, which will be useful when discussing their research project.

  • Writing a Scientific Report

    Description

    		Scientific reports can serve to both document and communicate research. The quality of writing can greatly affect the perception and reader response towards the underlying research – and a poorly written article may even be rejected for publication in reputable journals. Good scientific writing also follows a somewhat different set of rules than literary prose. This talk will highlight what information needs to be captured in a report, and how it can be presented to meet the expectations of potential readers and reviewers alike.

  • Scientific Poster and Presentation Skills

    Description

    		Scientific presentations are sometimes referred to as “oral papers” – yet anyone who had to suffer watching a presenter read out her latest publication to an audience can attest that requirements for an oral presentation are different from a written report. This talk will provide some pointers on how to get the essential science across while keeping the audience alert.

  • How to effectively mentor your students (for Teachers)

    Description

    		 A careful choice of a problem and some resourcefulness allow solid research to be conducted in a school lab. Good teacher mentors are invaluable to guide students on this journey of discovery – from the planning stage to final write-up. This talk for teachers discusses scoping and planning realistic school-based research projects, finding resources cheap (or even free), valuable resources that schools may already have without knowing, and where to find advice.
