Module Aims
|
7 To develop ability of student to solve problems related to analytical science.
7 To develop ability of student to research into the literature relating to specific analytical problems and identify, assess and present analytical solutions to such problems.
7 To develop communication & presentation skills.
7 To experience a teamwork approach to problem solving.

Learning Outcomes
|
7 Be able to use data from titrimetric, gravimetric, spectroscopic, electrochemical and chromatographic methods to obtain physical constants and concentration data.
7 Be competent in the conversion of analytical data to useful analytical information - to be able to solve the analytical problem.
7 Obtaining the ability to understand the nature of an analytical problem and the best approach available to solve such a problem.
7 Be able to confidently present results through oral and written communication.

NOTE
|
Assume that a 5 credit module load represents approximately 75 hours' work, which includes all teaching, in-course assignments, laboratory work or other specialised training and an estimated private learning time associated with the module.

Indicative Syllabus
|
|
The analytical content from the syllabi in courses e.g.
modules CS102, CS302 and CS304 will represent the core
knowledge. Extensive use will be made of secondary
literature in the analytical area. This will compliment the
use of the primary literature associated with the literature
survey module CS453.
Students will work in teams to explore ideas and
observations before presentation to their peers.
Two assignments will be carried out, one of which will be of
broader interest.
