Welcome to the 5th semester of the Bachelor of Engineering course Reinforced Concrete & Masonry Design 315 (RCM 710S). It is a compulsory Civil Engineering course that was designed to enable students acquire appropriate competencies to evaluate and design reinforced concrete and masonry structural members that will be design in accordance with the British Standard/Euro and South Africa Bureau of Standard (SABS) codes of practice

Scientific writing, is an indispensable aspect of studentship (term paper and thesis writing) and scholarship (journal papers and all forms of scientific written communication). It is, therefore, a key step in the scientific communication process. It cannot be overlooked in undergraduate (honours) courses. This is designed to help students improve their abilities to effectively communicate research processes (from conceptualisation up to findings, and conclusion).  In order to increase the emphasis on effective writing, this course gives succinct step-by-Step guide to scientific writing by breaking down the scientific writing process into easily digestible pieces to enable students become knowledgeable in writing their academic thesis. Academic thesis aside, the course exposes students to the scientific writing process, and insight into research paper writing as a core activity in the careers of land surveying and land administration experts in the industry and research institutions.

Course Introduction

Welcome to the e-learning course,Research Methodology  (RML921S). We hope that you will find studying RML921S via e-learning both enriching, enlightening, and exhilarating. RML921S aims to expose postgraduate students to the various advanced research methodologies, theories, designs, tools, principles and procedures so that they can write a comprehensive research proposal, review related literature, develop research tools, collect and analyse data, and present findings.

The major aim of the course is to expose postgraduate students to the various advanced research methodologies, theories, designs, tools, principles, and procedures so that they can write a comprehensive research proposal, review related literature, develop research tools, collect, and analyse data, and present findings. It also relates to the considerations that go into selecting research approaches that include amongst others, qualitative approach, quantitative approach, or mixed methods method approach. The philosophical worldviews, research designs, reviewing the literature, understanding the use of theory, anticipating ethical issues, and developing writing strategies will be covered in this course. We will discuss the process of research as it relates to each research approach. The process includes originating a researchable research topic; developing a research problem; writing an introduction, specifying a purpose statement, and developing research objectives; questions, and/or hypotheses. The course will also discuss the research methods and procedures for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. In addition, data analysis techniques, which include descriptive, inferential statistics, and qualitative will be explored. Ethical considerations will remain indispensable in this course.

This course aims to expose students to research paradigms and approaches related to new technological developments and emerging trends in the field of Data Science. It seeks to instill a critical analysis of innovative products and research contributions in the field in order to formulate research questions, plan to execute a scientific or technical research project, focusing on applied research Data Science areas of her/his own interest. Through discussions during the seminar series, it will sharpen students’ conceptual, design, writing and communication skills to develop and present a comprehensive individual research project proposal in a specific application domain of the field of study.
