Honors Thesis Research

4 units

This is the premier research experience for students in ESE, offering a challenging but rewarding opportunity for committed students to work at the cutting edge of engineering research. This is a mentored experience and requires the agreement of an ESE faculty member to serve in a mentorship role. To register for this course, students must obtain the nomination of two faculty members, including their proposed mentor. Nomination must reflect strong academic preparation, interest in research and ability to manage time and work independently. During this course, students will work within their mentor's research group or laboratory to pursue one or more specific research aims. Research is expected to result in a podium presentation and a thesis document that will be archived. Students completing honors thesis will participate in a departmental recognition event.
