<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Please get yourselves into groups of 2, 3 or 4, within the same class.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">3 is the preferred number. You may use the IRS groupings or you can create new groupings. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Please prepare your FULL NAMES, SST EMAIL, and HANDPHONE numbers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">There are 6 main types of research that you can do:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">(3) Measure a function or relationship: Experimental research (II)</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">(4) Construct a model: Theoretical sciences and applied mathematics</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">(5) Observational and exploratory research</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;">(6) Improve a product or process: Industrial and applied research </span></span><br />
For more ideas, you can refer to 2013 and 2012 research projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
You should think about the MAIN equipment that is needed for your project.<br />
