Course Learning Outcomes

This course helps students develop a thesis proposal. To develop a thesis proposal, a student needs to identify a thesis topic and work with an advisory team—including a thesis advisor and a second reader—to lay out research questions and a plan to answer those questions. In many cases a student also works with a research sponsor to make sure the proposed thesis research addresses a relevant real-world problem and has the potential to improve operational efficiency in practice.
