Undergraduate Research Project I

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course consists of a small research project undertaken by the student or by teams of students. Projects consist of the definition of a problem in computing and a literature survey of recent work in the field. Students are encouraged to define their own possible solutions and to prototype the solutions where appropriate. Regular review of progress is made in meetings. Students develop skills in the preparation of topic survey notes and in the development of arguments in support of or against published approaches to problems in computing. Students are expected to prepare and present their work. This course may be repeated provided all topics are distinct. Prerequisite(s): Permission of the instructor
