The course is an individually supervised research and study program designed to provide cadets the opportunity to pursue advanced scientific procedures, techniques, and/or topics within their discipline. The cadet and faculty advisor prepare a research proposal setting forth the objectives, scope, and anticipated accomplishments of his/her efforts for the semester. The scope of the course is tailored to the needs of the project and interests of the cadet in consultation with a faculty advisor. Once approved, the proposal serves as a basis for the cadet's research and study program. Progress in research reports and observations by the faculty advisor form the basis for grades. Lessons and labs are established by consultation between the cadet and faculty advisor. The program for each cadet will culminate in one of two outcomes: 1) discipline-appropriate final written report (e.g., senior thesis) with presentation in a public forum (e.g., Projects Day); or 2) enrollment in EV489C for continued research and independent study at a 3.0-credit level. If required for a specific degree, the proposal will include a justification for engineering science or design credit. Program Director will determine the applicable MA, BS, and ET credits for each offering, as required.

The course is an individually supervised research and study program designed to provide cadets with the opportunity to pursue advanced topics within their discipline. The cadet uses a research and study proposal setting forth the objectives, scope, and anticipated accomplishments of his/her efforts for the semester. If required for a specific degree, the proposal will include a justification for engineering science or design credit. The proposal serves as a basis for the cadet's research and study program. Progress in research reports and observations by the faculty advisor form the basis for grades. The program for each cadet will culminate in a discipline-appropriate written product (e.g., senior thesis or design project) with oral defense. Lessons and labs are established by consultation between the cadet and faculty advisor.

The course is an individually supervised research and study program that provides cadets an opportunity to continue an independent study project through two semesters of work. The research outline developed for EV480 or EV489A is intended to establish the objectives, scope, and expectations of the cadet's efforts during this semester of work. Progress in research reports and observations by the faculty advisor, along with the written product and oral defense form the basis for the final course grade. The program for each cadet will culminate in the completion of a discipline-appropriate written product (determined by the faculty advisor) and a formal presentation to the Department faculty. Classroom attendance and laboratory work will be established through consultation between the cadet and their faculty advisor.
