Learning Outcomes
Cognitive: Students learn what is research, where and how it is done, basic principles, how research is conducted with data (collection, analysis and interpretation), how research is done with experiments, simulations and systems design while a part of the course is related to research based in logic.
Skills: Upon completion of the course the student learns various aspects of scientific research so that when he/she needs to solve problems to plan the research from the beginning to the end.
