  • 3.0 credit hours
  • (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
  • Version 2025-7
  • In effect
Scope
With the same outcome goal as CH489 of significantly advancing the cadet's knowledge and comprehension of science and engineering into answering a real world scientific question, this course typically involves experimentation, data analysis, data evaluation, and publishing results. Cadets are supervised by a faculty advisor with expertise in the chosen research area. Cadets conduct research individually but may be part of a larger group working on a project with a broad scope. This course could conclude in a poster presentation, publication and/or a conference presentation as the undergraduate researcher contributes to the larger scientific community. Requirements include both a written final report and an oral presentation.

Scope
Two terms of work (6.0 credit hours) are normally required for CH489-CH490 projects. A faculty advisor individually supervises the cadet in a research program selected by him/her and approved by the department. The cadet, with the assistance of his/her supervisor, must obtain the necessary theoretical background, and develop the techniques and procedures required. Requirements may include periodic oral and/or written reports over the course of the two semesters. At the completion of the project, cadets normally submit a final report (research paper) and present an oral seminar. Cadets may perform research for one term instead of two only with prior approval of the head of the department. (Change title to Individual Research II effective 2005-1)
