Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to increase students' skills and competencies in developing, writing and managing scientific projects. The course content will be supported by case studies and real research, and theoretical knowledge will be transformed into scientific research by discussing the conditions under which successful scientific projects are put forward and how their outputs are disseminated. Thus, students will improve themselves and prepare for their future careers by actively participating in applied projects during their university years.

Course Content:

This course covers the steps of developing a scientific project. In this context, project logic, fundamentals of scientific research, development of creative ideas, literature review, design of the research, turning it into a project, planning, reporting and presentation will be discussed in detail. The course will be completed with the complete writing, presentation and, if appropriate, application of a project.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Can conduct comprehensive literature research
2) Can create innovative ideas for academic studies
3) Can mature an idea within the framework of scientific research methods
4) can turn their research into scientific projects for TUBITAK/EU and other institutions in accordance with the aims and objectives
5) Have skills in project management
