Opportunity for master’s student under the direction of a faculty member to explore an area of personal interest. The courses provide students with a self-directed educational experience that allows them to study in greater depth and breadth an aspect of particular personal and academic interest.
The following independent research programs are available for students:
MECH/IND/EOM 6690
To participate in an MECH/IND/EOM 6690 project, students should follow the steps below.
Talk with faculty members whose research is of interest to you and discuss the prospect of doing any of the research projects with the faculty members. You must have a faculty member who is committed to supporting you in your research over the course of the term before you can submit a proposal and proceed with research.
The proposal must be submitted online “site” a minimum of one week before the add/drop deadline of the term. The purpose of this deadline is to give the faculty member time to review and approve.
Submitting a proposal does not register the student for the research program. The student must go to MyCharger and register for the class by the add/drop deadline of the term. When you are searching for either MECH/IND/EOM 6690, be sure to check the box that says “include independent study courses” and select the section with your research advisor.
