Course Description
This is the first course in the three-course undergraduate research sequence. The goal of the course sequence is to allow undergraduate students to actively participate in a research project, the outcome of which is a thesis document. The student, under the supervision of a faculty member, pursues a research topic in that faculty member’s area of expertise. Approval of the research topic and project scope is required. In this course, the student conducts a literature search in the research area, defines the problem statement, and develops a project plan. The student also begins to examine theoretical concepts pertinent to the research project. (prereq: consent of department chair, junior standing, cumulative GPA >=3.2)
