The cadet integrates the concepts and techniques learned in previous Systems Engineering courses to solve a current problem of interest to the Academy or other agencies in the Department of the Army. Cadets may select project topics compatible with on-going research within the Department of Systems Engineering, the Operations Research Center, or may (subject to approval) select any topic of interest to them. Cadets will be assigned a faculty advisor who has an interest and background in the research area. Cadets may work individually or in small teams, depending on the nature of the research. The course will culminate with a student presentation and a paper prepared to send to the "using agency."
