SENIOR CAPSTONE I

Catalog description

This course is a two semester capstone series for Applied Science students. Students work under the guidance of one or more faculty to design and conduct an interdisciplinary research project based on the sciences of biology, chemistry and physics. Students explore the history, background and scientific relevance of the chosen project by conducting literature searches. Students practice scientific writing by submitting an abstract describing the proposed project in addition to writing a scientific research proposal. Students are expected to obtain preliminary results of their proposed project either by conducting experiments or by applying theoretical/computational calculations.
