<p>I am currently a undergraduate student in stony brook university majoring in engineering science. My school requires every student to do their own senior project for a full whole year in order to graduate. Can i treat my coursework as my reseach when i apply any graduate school? Btw, my senoir project is to make a shoe that can generate energy while walking. However, I could not make it work eventually become all bunch of problems have generated</p>
<p>Yes, that sort of senior research project is a good thing to have on your c.v. when you apply for graduate programs. It demonstrates experience in the foundational skills you’ll need as a grad student.</p>
<p>but i want to choose civil engineering as my reseach area in graduate school, and the thing i did for my senior project (make a shoe to generate energy) is hardly related to the grad course i apply to except they both belong to field of engineer generally</p>
