Course Description

Directed towards enhancing problem identification/solving skills and professional
self confidence through individual research under the supervision of a faculty
member, through focusing upon a specialized topic which may require laboratory
work, modeling, simulation, management practice, field study, comprehensive
literature survey to draw original conclusions, etc, to formulate the problem,
generate data, analyze the case, and generate solutions to the problems, as well as
drawing conclusions and to make a contribution for the topic selected;
