RESEARCH PROJECT
Research projects must follow the scientific method, must contain data collected with equipment that
belongs to the student or the BE491 lab, and must apply at least one engineering principle or tool
learned in this or another course. The project should involve teams of 4-5 students from the same lab
section, and each team in the class must work on independent projects. The research topic may be
inspired by the team or selected from an idea list provided by the instructor. A project sign-up sheet will
be posted in the lab. After identifying a project, a one-page research proposal must be submitted that
gives the title, hypothesis, aims, experiments, and rationale of the project in separate sections. Only
when the proposal has been approved by the instructor may the team begin conducting experiments. The
proposal due date is midway through the semester, but it can be submitted directly to the instructor at
any time for those teams wanting to get an early start. There are no required labs for the last month of
the semester so that research teams may work on their projects. During the open labs, equipment and TF
support will be available. Each team must submit a single full report at the end of the semester with a
signed title page that briefly states the contributions of each team member.
