OPTI 6303 - Collaborative Research Proposal


Credit Hours: (3)

Effective strategies for designing and writing research proposals are presented by program faculty members, and staff from proposal development offices on campus.  Students work in teams of 2-3 to prepare an original, interdisciplinary research proposal on a topic in nanoscale science.  The proposal conforms to regulations of a selected funding agency and must address a topic that is supported by that agency.  Each team consults regularly with a panel of 2-3 faculty members who collectively approve the proposal topic, provide feedback during the development of the proposal, and ultimately evaluate the proposal.  The course is designed to increase the ability of students to relate research ideas to fundamental concepts in science and engineering, to help students learn to develop effective methods of presenting ideas and defending them, to help students develop self confidence in their abilities to present and defend ideas, and to improve oral and written communication skills. 

Cross-listed as: OPTI 8303 and NANO 8203 .
