| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit involves working on a laboratory-based research project related to food science, analysing the data generated and preparing a presentation and a report with all the findings. Study-Unit Aims: The study-unit aims to provide the students with a complete experience on executing a laboratory-based reserach project, analyse the data collected and present the findings in a scientific way. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Outline the complexity of food analysis; - Select appropriate methods for testing of a particular product; - Identify methodological limitations; - Perform analytical tasks; - Analyse data derived from testing; - Interpret laboratory results/findings; - Recommend alternative methods to minimise testing limitations. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Design research in the area of Food Science; - Improve critical-thinking ability; - Write and present research/scientific work; - Advance in technical skills; - Compile a technical report.
