COSC 492 - Honors Research

Students complete a novel and significant independent project that either advances the field of computer science or synthesizes computer science concepts and technologies to benefit specific communities, under the guidance of a Computer Science faculty member. To enroll students must: (1) successfully complete COSC 482, extend an independent project from a 400-level COSC course in an intervening semester or summer, or complete a summer research project, and (2) have the proposed project evaluated and approved by Computer Science faculty in the preceding semester or summer. This course is graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Students must present the work to Computer Science faculty toward the end of the semester and submit a written thesis describing the motivation, methodology, outcomes, and connections to previous work. This course may not count as one of the electives for the COSC major or minor.
