Graduate Research Academic Support
Graduate Research Academic Support (GRAS) runs a program to help graduate research students in the Faculty of Engineering develop their research communication skills. Teaching is provided on aspects of communicating research in research proposals, research reports, conference and journal papers, posters and the thesis. The GRAS program, consisting of seminar series, short courses, writing groups and one-to-one tutorials, is delivered throughout the year.
Introductory Seminar Series
The introductory seminar series aims to help new graduate research students understand different genres of engineering research communication, focusing on the purpose, audience, structure and language conventions.
Research Communication Seminar Series
This seminar series aims to help engineering graduate research students develop skills essential for effective research communications.
Technical Skills Seminar Series
This seminar series focuses on a number of technical skills which engineering graduate research students may need for their research.
Thesis Writing Seminar Series
In the seminars, we will look at how to write a successful thesis. We will analyse the overall structure of a thesis including papers and of a traditional thesis by using sample theses...
Short Courses
These short courses aim to help engineering graduate research students develop and enhance their research writing skills.
One-to-one Tutorials
One-to-one teaching is provided upon request, and is dedicated to addressing a graduate research student's specific needs in research communication.
Writing Groups
A short course or writing group can be arranged for a research group in Faculty of Engineering upon request. Kindly contact Lilian Khaw for more information.
