Active Course List

The course will focus on the specific skills important for the design of research and development programs. A research question will be identified and students in the course will work as a research team and carry out the activity. The primary activity will be the creation of a mathematical model that can be used in relation to the applied research activity. The course is an elective and would be taken after the AET 661, AET 662 and AET 663 sequence.
