In the two Research Project courses, students complete an independent technical project. These courses mirror working conditions that are frequently encountered in industry; that is, they are a self-directed, comprehensive study of a specific topic in the student`s field, one not covered in other courses. In Research Project I, students prepare a detailed project schedule, meet weekly with faculty and industry advisors, prepare weekly progress reports, and deliver a formal technical project proposal. Students begin work on the project in this course in preparation for project completion in Research Project II.
