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 EV489D 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 the cadet the opportunity to pursue advanced study of the environment. 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.
