The cadet pursues advanced study of a topic in mechanical engineering on an individual or small group basis, independent of a formal classroom setting. Similar to graduate level research, the scope of the selected project is tailored to the interests of the cadet based on resources and in consultation with a faculty advisor. To develop research skills, the cadet is integral in all phases of project completion by defining objectives, studying fundamentals and background material, outlining the approach, conducting analysis, and communicating results.

The cadet, on an individual or small group basis, pursues advanced study of a research topic in mechanical, automotive, or materials engineering. The scope of the course is tailored to the desires of the cadet in consultation with his faculty advisor. The cadet is required to define and analyze his problem, study the fundamentals involved, organize his approach, determine his procedure, achieve a solution, and submit a written report. Alternatively, the cadet can receive credit for this course as additional credit in pursuit of the Capstone Design Experience. LESSONS and LABS: No formal class. Consultation with Department Faculty Advisor at least once a week on individual work required.
