Catalog description

Individual research studies for students who want to pursue a particular analytical, computational, or experimental investigation outside of regular courses or for informal instruction supplementing that given in regular courses. An engineering report on the project is required of each student. Students must first make individual arrangements with a faculty sponsor and then submit an enrollment form, available online at https://www.mae.cornell.edu/mae/programs/undergraduate-programs/undergraduate-forms . Once approved, students will receive an enrollment pin to enroll in MAE 1900 . Students are expected to spend 3-4 hours per week per credit hour working on the project.
