One major component of your 437 paper is the selection of a good topic for your Senior Project. The topic will need to be related to your Field of Study, be of significant personal/professional interest, and be robust enough to satisfy the requirements of a 50 page research paper (BIS 437). That being said, you may wish to expand on an area of previous research, or, select a new topic that will be an asset to your current or future professional goals. Choosing an appropriate topic that is manageable and applicable to your Field of Study is paramount. For the first assignment, submit a short (1-2 pages) paper outlining your chosen topic for the Senior Project, providing rationale for your choice and how the project will serve as a tool towards your current or professional goals.
