Objectives of the Course	Developing research through inter- and transdisciplinary methods. Contributing to field of civil engineering with producing academic knowledge in local and global context. Developing an academic path on research and life-long learning. Conveying research outputs inter and trans disciplinary and attaining academic and professional communication to reflect the outputs of the research.
Course Content	Course mainly frames the research, development and writing phases of the PhD thesis. For each thesis work the phases of the research may vary but in general it consists of following steps: literature review about the chosen topic, defining and examining of research problem, developing a solution or a personal approach on the research topic, conducting experimental, numerical or analytical works (where applicable), and writing of the body of the thesis. This process is conducted with the guidance of the thesis advisor(s).
