| Research Requirement | ||
| Consists of both a written document and an oral presentation of a depth and quality suitable for submission to a professional conference. | ||
| The research will normally be accomplished as an extension of a project begun in the CS Honors Elective. The research must reflect individual effort, although it may build on an existing group project (especially the context of XE401/402). | ||
| Neither the project/research work nor the resulting paper and presentation need be completed during the same semester they are begun, but must be complete by the end of the TEE period of semester 8. | ||
| The project/research must be conducted under the supervision/mentorship of a member of the faculty, normally the instructor of the corresponding course. The final written document and oral presentation must be approved by both the research mentor and the Computer Science Program Director. | ||
| AND | ||
| Grade Requirements | ||
| Complete the requirements of the major as shown above, attain an APSC of at least 3.0 in the core curriculum and an APSC of at least 3.5 in the major. | ||
