Master’s Project (EST 598 zero credit course)

Students typically address the Master’s project in one of three ways: 

1) a literature search on a technical issue in the concentration area.

2) a project that combines some form of technical training from two or more classes in the program.

3) by addressing a professional problem where there is not sufficient time or available effort to address in the working environment and which requires additional technical information.
