Aim =  what you hope to  achieve. Objective  = the action(s) you will take in order to achieve the aim. Aims  are statements of intent. They are usually written in broad terms. They set out what you hope to achieve at the end of the  project. Why  is this research required?, What is this research  about?, How  are you going to do it ? Objectives, on the other hand, should be specific statements that define measurable outcomes, e.g. what steps will be taken to achieve the desired outcome. Research  Objectives:     SMART :  Specific, Measurable   Achievable    Timebound

Scene 7

The  research aim focus on what the research project is intended to achieve; research objectives focus on how the aim will be achieved. Research aims are relatively broad; research objectives are specific. Research aims focus on a project’s long-term outcomes; research objectives focus on its immediate, short-term outcomes. A research aim can be written in a single sentence or short paragraph; research objectives should be written as a numbered  list.
