Research Project I

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. In the selected research project, students incorporate the following technology design aspects of a selected product: incorporate design synthesis process, apply some design methods, use some tools for designing the selected product, apply some graphical communication, related prototyping and proof of concept, introduce some related economic analysis and costing, ensure team organization, management and professionalism and ethics in the design process. Students begin work on the project in this course in preparation for project completion in Research Project II.
