Directed Research courses are intended to cover advanced material outside of or beyond the scope of current course offerings. In such courses, the student will work on a research project under the direct supervision of an Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering faculty member. The research topic should be relevant to MS degree competencies and contribute to the development of the student's knowledge and skill sets in the field of Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. The student should propose a research plan including the expected outcome and the faculty advisor should approve it before registration.

The research plan should include a problem statement, proposed research methods, expected outcome, a schedule of research activities and meeting schedule between the student and the faculty advisor, and the assessment of the student performance. The amount of the work should be appropriate for the requested credits. The primary faculty advisor must be an AME faculty member, but faculty members from other units may participate in advising the student.
