ENGS 87 Undergraduate Investigations
An original investigation in a phase of science or engineering under the supervision of a member of the staff. Students electing the course will be expected to carry out preliminary reading during the preceding term and to meet weekly with the staff member supervising the investigation. The course is open to qualified undergraduates with the consent of the department chair. A report describing the details of the investigation must be filed with the department chair and approved at the completion of the course. May not be used to satisfy any A.B. major or B.E. degree requirements.
Students are awarded one course credit for successful completion of this course at the end of the second term of work. Students register for ENGS-087 and receive a grade of “ON” (ongoing) at the end of the term. Students do not register for the subsequent term. A final grade will replace the “ON” at the end of the subsequent term at which time the coursework must be completed.
Prerequisite
Permission of the department chair. (One-page proposal submission required and must be submitted for approval prior to the end of the term preceding the term in which the course will be taken.)
