Once again, Engineering Science seniors are busy preparing for their Senior Thesis Oral Exams.
During the senior year, all students select a focus area of study, complete a capstone project, and write a thesis that integrates the scientific principles of research, design and analysis and applies them to engineering. Each student works with a thesis reserch supervisor as well as their departmental honors advisor.
This year the Thesis Oral Exams are scheduled to be held during the week of March 31 - April 4, 2008.
The presentations are open to the public. A listing of the students and their thesis titles follows below.
