Senior Honors Program
Strong academic students can choose to pursue a BS in Mechanical Engineering
with Honors. This program, in
conjunction with the Honors
Tutorial College at Ohio University,
is done for three quarters in the senior year.
At least one graduate course must be taken, and a Senior Honors Thesis
is required, working with a faculty advisor in a research area of your
choosing.
Here is Dr. Bayless’ website for the Mechanical Engineering
Honors Program.

- Propose your idea; I have
found the best projects come from co-op experience and/or personal
interest.
