Students interested in a more in-depth study of a particular area can choose to work with a faculty member (not necessarily their academic advisor) on a research project. This option can be satisfied by taking the course CSC 696 (Masters Project) at least twice, each time for 4 credits. The Masters research option will replace one elective and one of the 4 required area courses. Students who choose this option must successfully complete the core exams prior to their first enrollment in CSC 696. The research project must represent an original contribution to the area, and may include system development, empirical studies, or theoretical work. The scope and the details of the research project will be determined by the research supervisor, and must be approved by the student's academic advisor. At the end of the two quarters, the student must submit a technical report detailing the results of the research project. This report must be approved by the student's research supervisor and the faculty advisor, at which point it will be made available to the public as a CTI Departmental Technical Report.
