Prerequisite: Candidate status.
This course interweaves three distinct themes (investigation, experimentation, and technical writing), that culminate in a comprehensive research project, presentation, and oral defense. First, the students are immersed into the research process within Computer Science. This includes an understanding of the role, ethics, and responsibility of researchers in Computer Science. The second focus is on rigorous design of experiments for the purpose of testing research hypothesis, simulations, and models, and interpreting the results of those experiments. Finally, proficiency in communication of scientific ideas and findings will be addressed, from intensive reading, critiques, technical writing and oral presentations. 3 hours discussion.
