IE442 Research in Computational Science I One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Second-trimester junior standing or senior standing, and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Five periods per week including lab. This is an advanced course for senior students or second-trimester junior students with the maturity, independence, and motivation necessary to conduct their own research project. Students learn computational methodology and design while conducting a variety of computational projects on a small scale. Students then write their own research proposals on a problem of interest to them. Throughout the trimester students read from the primary scientific literature and participate in discussion groups on current issues in computational science research. Based on the outcomes of the trimester’s work, students may be given an opportunity to participate in summer research programs on campus or in the Triangle area. Students with a final grade of B or higher are encouraged to continue in IE444 Research in Computational Science II. IE444 Research in Computational Science II One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in IE442 Research in Computational Science I or successful participation in a summer research program, and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Five periods per week including lab. In this course, students continue to conduct computational research based on their previous trimester and/or summer work. Time is devoted to the completion of the research project and a written paper. Students are required to present their results at the NCSSM Research Symposium and are encouraged to present their research at the North Carolina Student Academy of Science competition and at other state and national competitions. IE446 Research in Computational Science III One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in IE444 Research in Computational Science II and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Five periods per week including lab. 98
In this course, students continue work on their previous research to produce additional data and analysis, as needed, or to research extension questions based on their original work. Students in this course have a leadership role in working with the junior students enrolled in IE442 Research in Computational Science I and may serve as teaching assistants. IE448 Research in Computational Science IV One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in IE446 Research in Computational Science III and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Five periods per week including lab. In this course, students continue work on their previous research to produce additional data and analysis, as needed, or to research extension questions based on their original work. Students in this course have a leadership role in working with the junior students enrolled in IE442 Research in Computational Science I and may serve as teaching assistants. IE450 Applications in Entrepreneurship One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Selection by the proposal evaluation committee. Meeting pattern: One 2-hour evening class meeting. “Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage” – Victor Kiam. This course provides the necessary background material and a structured opportunity for students with ideas for products or services to bring their ideas from conception to market through this real-life activity of entrepreneurship. A thematic focus for the products or services is announced each year. Students submit their thematically-related ideas to a proposal evaluation committee which reviews the applications and selects the student teams for that year’s enrollment. Students then learn and apply the steps involved in marketing their ideas including market analysis, business plan development, and presentation to potential investors. At the conclusion of the term, student team(s) may be invited to continue their work as a Special Study Option for an additional term. 99
