WSE 380 - Research and Discovery in STEM
This course consists of a combination of theory and practice. The theoretical component involves an overview of research methodologies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, including literature reviews, research design, data collection, and quantitative analysis. In addition, there is a hands-on experience in doing research in STEM disciplines. Students may perform research in a laboratory of their choice under the supervision of a faculty member and prior approval of a research plan by the course coordinator or may select among some offered research experiences. Within the research settings, students are given background literature, instructed in the problem to be studied, learn the necessary technical tools, jointly make a research plan, carry out experiments related to the problem, and discuss the social implications of the research problem. Students prepare papers and/or make presentations related to the projects in which they participate. Not for credit in addition to WSE 187.
