Quality and Reliability
Students interested in pursuing this track are required to take a collection of 6 common courses. In addition, they must complete a final report, which provides a critical analysis of a topic that is appropriate to the plan of study and is subject to approval by the advisory committee. It is expected that students will spend about 1/3 efforts spent for a regular 3 credit course for the final report.
