SENIOR PROJECT PROPOSAL

Catalog description

Preparation of the proposal for Senior Research projects to be completed in NS 499. Students will become familiar with the procedure by which proposals are prepared and submitted to funding agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF). The format of the proposal is based on NSF proposal requests. The course will ensure that the research projects are well conceived, carefully planned, and have a reasonable chance of succeeding. All senior-research proposals are reviewed by a board of Natural Science faculty members. Proposals may be accepted, accepted with revisions, or returned for major revisions with a request for resubmission during the next semester's review. Pre-requisite: Junior standing.
