This course is designed to allow an AEM student to complete a Capstone project and fulfill the Honors Capstone requirement for University Honors. Prior approval of the Honors College to determine the criteria for earning Honors credit is required. The student will plan and conduct research in an area of current interest to the student and instructor on a topic determined in consultation with the instructor before the student enrolls for class. consent of instructor.
