| This course teaches cadets how to define and communicate new ideas to solve scientific problems in the context of challenging, modern technological problems facing the Army, Department of Defense, and society. Through participation in a speaker series, students engage with leaders from the DoD, academia, and industry to define their passions in STEM and select a cutting-edge problem for further study. Lessons on technical communication are interwoven to develop technical communication skills, focusing on writing detailed literature reviews, developing compelling technical proposals, and giving engaging presentations. Throughout the semester, students construct a research project proposal and presentation to argue an innovative solution to their chosen problem. |
