CSE495

CSE495/496

Senior Honors Research Project I

3

Leo Bachmair

The first semester of a two-semester research project carried out under the supervision of a computer science faculty member. Students must submit a written project report and make a presentation to the department at the year-end Honors Project Colloquium. Students who enroll in CSE 495 must complete CSE 496 in the subsequent semester and receive only one grade upon completion of the sequence.

Admission to the Computer Science Honors Program

• Introduce honors students to research through substantial projects over two-semester period.
• Provide a mechanism for honors students to explore a topic of interest in depth not otherwise possible in the undergraduate curriculum.

Textbook and other reading material depend on the research project.

In CSE 495/496 students work on a significant research project, supervised by a computer science faculty member. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher, both overall and in computer science courses, in order to be eligible for CSE 495/496. The course sequence is taken by students in their senior year.

Project proposals must be approved by the honors program director and the faculty supervisor before a student is given permission to register for CSE 495 in the fall semester. Research projects often require implementation work, but can also be theoretical in nature. Students must make satisfactory progress on the project in the fall semester before being permitted to register for CSE 496 in the spring semester. At the end of the spring semester student submit a written project report and make a presentation at the Honors Project Colloquium. Grades are assigned by the student's honors committee, three or four faculty members including the student's faculty supervisor and the honors program director.
