Students in baccalaureate degrees can engage in an instructor-guided, independent learning experience. In consultation with an assigned instructor, students carry out independent studies on special projects related to and involving the management of technology in the business, industrial, or social sector. The students, in consultation with their faculty mentor, will also be responsible for investigating, developing, and implementing a learning contract, a project proposal, and an assessment plan. The terms and conditions of this contract are determined for each student or group of students based on consultation with the instructor and permission of the Program Chair.
