. Descriptive studies suggest intellectual gain is associatedwith undergraduate research [8]. A few very well-designed assessment studies have demonstratedthat students involved in research perceive an intellectual gain from such experiences. This type ofproject is quite suitable for Independent Study/Research by a student or a group of students. For thistype of study, the Faculty prepares a contract for the student(s) that details the scope of work to beaccomplished and the deliverables including a final report detailing the procedures and resultsobtained. It is known that research invariably leads to a better understanding of and a deeperappreciation for the material under investigation.Several undergraduate Construction Management Technology

The students specify the mass, damping andstiffness values via keyboard entry or scroll bar values. The frequency, damping, criticaldamping, etc. of the system are reported along with plots of the time response, frequencyresponse and the root locus plot. As values are changed the plots update and the plot of thepoles in the s-plane are easily observed.

The other undergraduate student isinterested in doing a MS degree in the area of computational intelligence. All the graduatestudents who took the course are pursuing a thesis involving one or more paradigm(s) ofcomputational intelligence.

Finally, those cadets whomajor in computer science are exposed to advanced methodologies such as an object-oriented approach to problem solving.
