The Honors project and thesis is the distinguishing feature of the Honors program, and represents the culmination of the Honors experience. The Honors project requirement may be satisfied in one of the following ways:

  1. Completion of the AIChE Design Problem as an individual, according to contest rules, as part of the requirements for CHEG 4443, Design II
  2. Completion of a design contest problem as part of a team, such as the WERC or
  3. EPA-P3 competition
  4. Completion of a research project through CHEG 488V, Special Problems, or as an Honors research project, under the direction of a faculty mentor
  5. Regardless of the type of Honors project, an Honors thesis and an oral presentation will be prepared by the student. The Honors thesis must be approved by the faculty mentor and the Department Honors Committee. The student is not given Honors credit for the Honors thesis.
