COMPUTER SCIENCE PROJECT (3 cr.)
21:198:491:T1:81175
5/27-8/13
MEETING TIME BY ARRANGEMENT

By permission only.

An opportunity for students to integrate the knowledge and skills gained in previous computer science work into an individual research project. Involves investigation of current literature as well as computer implementation of either a part of a large program or the whole of a small system. Topic should be consonant with the emphasis of direction chosen by the students in their computer science studies. Before registering for this course, students must find a faculty member who agrees to act as their adviser, and students must have a written project proposal approved by their faculty adviser.

INDIVIDUAL STUDY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (3 cr.)
