Graduate Research Academic Support
Graduate Research Academic Support (GRAS) provides academic support to all graduate research students in the Faculty of Engineering, and assist them to 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 semester.
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
The seminar series will focus on various topics in relation to engineering research communication, such as copyright issues, literature search strategies, writing styles and publishing tips.
Writing Maths Seminar Series
There are two seminars in this series: Introduction to LaTeX A and Introduction to LaTeX B. The basic philosophy of LaTex will be introduced in Seminar 1, followed by a selection of more advanced topics related to typesetting with LaTeX in Seminar 2.
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.
