Integrated Research Projects
Computer Science students are required to take two Integrated Research Components. The student will propose and complete a plan to investigate a research topic that is integrated with the specified course. The plan must include a substantial implementation demonstrating some aspect of the research, a journal quality research paper and a formal talk presented to peers and faculty.
