Masters projects Masters projects are typically 3 credits worth of work and are completed within about one semester, although finishing touches such as the writeup, preparing for an oral presentation, and packaging the results often spill over into the next semester. Many faculty members keep lists of ideas that students might pursue for masters projects.
Projects usually require some implementation, but usually no original research.
However, the implementation usually involves tools and concepts that the student needs to learn. If the faculty member agrees, proceed. In consultation with the faculty advisor, explore the idea to see what a project might look like. Lay out a schedule of what should be done by what date. If the faculty member agrees, proceed.
