Department of Engineering course timetable

Do you want to increase the probability of completing your PhD on time and be happier doing it? In this workshop, Dr Sue Jackson will share and discuss these 'secrets' with the aim of allowing you to reflect on what you can easily do to help yourself achieve this aim. If you haven't already been to this workshop as part of your RCC, do come along.

So, you’ve got an important presentation coming up and you want make the right impression.

Whether you’re new to presenting, looking to speak at your first conference, or wanting important tips to finesse your delivery or presenting to a wider audience, this is the course for you.

The course is in two parts:

The pre-workshop information covers: how to prepare an effective presentation: the essential questions that guide all good talks; different, appropriate methods to structure it; tips for making the most of powerpoint; ways to overcome nerves and present with confidence. As you go, you will apply this learning to create a 5 minute presentation.

In the supportive environment of the face-to-face workshop, you will deliver your 5 minute talk to a group of 10 people in the first session. Then in the second session you will receive 25 minutes 1-2-1 coaching with the trainer to work on one or more specific aspects of presenting, linked to the pre course material and the feedback you receive from the group.

This session, delivered by the Department's Library and Information Services, will focus on the literature search, helping you to develop a systematic search strategy and make best use of the print and electronic resources available to you. Please bring a laptop as you will have the opportunity to conduct some initial searching on platforms such as Web of Knowledge and Scopus and will learn how to keep up to date with current research throughout the course of their research project.

Julian Peck and Alexandra Bolton from Cambridge Enterprise, will provide you with some of the vocabulary and ideas behind intellectual property (copyright, patents, confidentiality agreements) in the context of University Research. A useful starting point, which could prevent you making costly mistakes in the future.

This session will take students through the nuts and bolts of putting together journal articles and conference posters as well as managing their online profiles and tracking the impact of their research. It will give an overview of the peer review process and help students meet their funder Open access and research data requirements. This session deliberately excludes subject-specific advice such as which journal or conferences to choose, which is more appropriately provided by supervisors. It will however highlight resources such as Sherpa/Romeo and journal impact factors that provide information that may help reach these decisions.

In this popular talk given by Prof. Tim Wilkinson, you will get all the essentials for understanding the full process of getting your papers published from submission to publication. Recommended for all graduates.

This one hour lecture, given by Dr Stephan Hofmann, Reader in Nanotechnology, provides a useful guide to starting out in research for a PhD and developing your own approach to produce a successful outcome.

This session, given by the Library's Information Service will help you quickly and easily identify the information that will be of most value and relevance to your own research. It will also provide an introduction to referencing, reference management and avoiding plagiarism. If you bring a laptop, by the end of the session, you will also have started to put together your own data management plan, addressing how you will organise, preserve and make your data available (or limit availability!) in accordance with funding requirements and ethical considerations.

Moodle can be much more than just a home for lecture notes. In this 30 to 45 mins session we will look at some of the other tools in Moodle that you could make use of: collecting and grading assignments, encouraging collaborative working between your students and scheduling events and supervisions. Come with questions, the participates will direct what we look at.

Thinking of using your Moodle course to supplement your teaching? We will look at course structure, how to add people, how to add content and how to talk to your students. We will also offer a refresher on copyright and Moodle. Come with questions, we will tailor the session to what you want to know.

What are transferable skills, why are they important and how do you know which ones to develop? This course gives you the chance to find out the answer to all these questions and more. It is also your chance to have input into the types of training you would like to spend your time on and speak to the people who could help develop them.

Aimed at 1st year PhD students this course is designed to get you thinking and working effectively on your end of first year report. How do you start? What’s expected? How do you make it work for you? These and many other important questions, hints and tips will be addressed in this session.

An overview of reference management tools. How you can use them to efficiently record, organise and annotate the sources you find, and use them to quickly add citations and generate bibliographies in your work.

There have never been so many ways that you and research can be represented online. This session will give you some tips and guidance to make the most of the tools and services available.

We’ll look at identifying you and your work with Symplectic and ORCiD ; discovery through databases and repositories, like Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Apollo; and sharing through networking and social media sites like Researchgate, Linked in and Twitter - and how all of this this can increase and demonstrate the reach and impact of your research.

We’ll cover principles, techniques and tools for planning, designing and creating a conference poster. We’ll also look at some examples and critiques. Feel free to bring along your own examples – finished or in progress – for feedback.

Postdoc mentoring training, organised by the Engineering Postdoc Committee.

Following the recent upgrade to Symplectic, the library has organised this sessions to talk about some new features, including:

• a new way to submit papers to the Open Access team via Symplectic, which streamlines the process of Open Access submissions and updating your publication lists. The Department is part of a pilot of this new system before it is rolled out across the University.
• A new way to deposit data in the repository via Symplectic.
• using Symplectic to support Researchfish submissions.

At the sessions, members of the University’s Research Information and Open Access teams will demonstrate these features and answer any questions you have.
