Technical Report I and II concentrate on the completion of an independent technical project. This course mirrors working conditions that are frequently encountered in industry; that is, it is a self-directed, comprehensive study of a specific topic in the student’s field, not one covered in other courses. In Technical Report I, students prepare a detailed project schedule, meet with faculty advisors, prepare progress reports, and deliver a formal technical project proposal. Students begin work on the project in this course in preparation for project completion in Technical Report II.
