This is urgent ! 

Please get yourselves into groups of 2, 3 or 4, within the same class.
3 is the preferred number. You may use the IRS groupings or you can create new groupings. 
Please prepare your FULL NAMES, SST EMAIL, and HANDPHONE numbers. 

There are 6 main types of research that you can do:

(1) Test a hypothesis: Hypothesis-driven research

(2) Measure a value: Experimental research (I)

(3) Measure a function or relationship: Experimental research (II) 
(4) Construct a model: Theoretical sciences and applied mathematics
(5) Observational and exploratory research 
(6) Improve a product or process: Industrial and applied research 
For more ideas, you can refer to 2013 and 2012 research projects.


You should think about the MAIN equipment that is needed for your project.
