| Description | Students who wish to receive credit under ECE 397 must first come to an agreement with an individual faculty member regarding the nature of the project, specific goals, credit hours, amount of effort required, and final report. The student is responsible for taking the initiative in arranging for this course credit: there are no regular or organizational meetings for this course. Nonetheless, independent study is highly encouraged for those students wishing to do research or otherwise go beyond what is required in normal classes. Often these experiences lead to further research, to graduate school projects, undergraduate thesis projects. We suggest the "rule of 4"--multiply the credit hours by four to get the number of hours per week you should be working on your project. |
