EX49X: Directed Research Course
The purpose of EX49X is to engage midshipmen in research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, providing them an opportunity to study independently and make original contributions to a field of special interest. A midshipman taking EX49X will typically investigate an unexplored area or examine previously reported research results within a new context or using a new approach. Research by midshipmen contributes significantly to the Naval Academy's goal of promoting habits of lifelong learning among its graduates.
