Research Perspective

The student worked on three different projects when completing previous terms of the ITD Master's programme. They will use the technical innovations that resulted from these projects to write an academic conference paper (i.e. for Autex) or to write an academic paper for a journal (i.e. Journal of the Textile Institute. During the period of the first few lectures, the student will need to decide whether they want to write an academic paper for a conference or a journal. In week six, the student will need to submit a 300-500 word cover letter, specifying their preference for a conference/journal paper along with an abstract. In week nine, the student will upload the entire paper to Blackboard.The lecturers will grade the student on the cover letter, the abstract and the paper. In week 10, the student will need to present their paper and defend their decision to write a conference/journal paper.The student will follow the conference or journal guidelines when writing the paper. By the end of the term, the best paper may be submitted to the journal or conference of their choice, provided both the company and the student agree to this.
