The course is an individually supervised research and study program designed to provide the cadet the opportunity to pursue advanced study of geospatial information science. The cadet prepares a research and study proposal setting forth the objectives, scope, and anticipated accomplishments of his/her efforts for the semester. 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. The program for each cadet usually culminates in a substantive research paper and oral defense.
