ENGS 87 Undergraduate Investigations
An original investigation in a phase of science or engineering under the supervision of a Thayer School faculty member.

Instructor and faculty advisor permissions are required, and it may be elected only once. A report describing the details of the investigation must be filed with the instructor and approved at the completion of the course. Grading is CT/NC and the course does not fulfill any major requirements, BE requirements, nor distributive requirements. A proposal is required. The template is available on the Engineering website and must be submitted for approval prior to the end of the term preceding the term in which the course will be taken.
