All students in the major, including Honors students, must complete the two-semester Senior Design I and II sequence.
For summa cum laude only, the student must do an oral presentation and defense of the thesis for the advisor and the two readers. The oral presentation (~30 minutes in length) is followed by a Q&A session (~30 minutes in length).
All students will choose a thesis committee comprising at least three members: a thesis advisor and two additional reviewers. Students are responsible for identifying a thesis advisor who will agree to supervise their thesis prior to submitting their thesis proposal. At least one member—not necessarily the thesis advisor—must be tenured or tenure-track faculty at the University of Minnesota, and at least one member must be affiliated with the department in which the thesis is conducted.
