Description	Independent Study Undertaking Independent Study within an industrial research context allows students to take ownership of their personal, professional and academic development. This is a specialist module that intends to provide Engineering Doctorate students with the opportunity to to (i) identify the gaps in their current skills set and resources/tools to address those needs (ii) acquire new knowledge and/or skills (iii) demonstrate how those new abilities/capacities can be used to enhance their research/professional practice. Students must develop evidence to demonstrate that the chosen ISM activities are relevant to their present and future practice, and produce a report – which must be their own work and supported by evidence – on how they have met the goals of their ISM; the report must include both a reflective summary of their learning experience as well as a technical summary related their research area.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Monitor their own learning, including the identification of learning needs and their learning development by planning acquisition of skills to address identified learning needs; Demonstrate a reflective and self-critical approach to personal and professional development; Critically evaluate the learning and skills gained from academic and professional study and its application to the workplace.
