EE491/492: Independent Study

The independent study experience is designed to provide an opportunity for cadets to pursue original research in a topic of their choosing. Typically the first such experience will be EE491 for 1 credit hour, often under the guidance of a senior cadet. The second experience is EE492 for 2 credit hours, and often includes mentoring responsibilities of a junior student. Cadets conclude their independent study work by giving an oral presentation to faculty and interested cadets both within the department and during the post-wide Cadet Research Symposium held in the spring, and create a written presentation to be posted on the web.
