  • course Introduction to Scientific Computing (recommended)

  • course (recommended)

  • A score of 4 on the Calculus BC test or 5 on the AB test only gives students 8 units, not 10 units, so is equal to MATH 19 + MATH 20, but not MATH 21. The Math Placement Exam determines what math course the student starts with. 

  • It is recommended that the CME series (100, 102, 104) be taken rather than the MATH series (51, 52, 53). It is recommended that students taking the MATH series also take course Introduction to MATLAB.

The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics honors program has been designed to allow undergraduates with strong records and enthusiasm for independent research to engage in a significant project leading to a degree with departmental honors. 

Students who meet the eligibility criteria and wish to be considered for the honors program should apply to the program by the end of the junior year. All applications are subject to the review and final approval by the Aero/Astro Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.

Application Requirements:

  • One-page written statement describing the research topic and signed adviser form

  • GPA of 3.5 or higher in the major

  • Unofficial Coursedog transcript (from Axess)

  • Signature of thesis adviser

Honors criteria:

  • Maintain the 3.5 GPA required for admissions to the honors program.

  • Arrangement with an Aero/Astro faculty member who agrees to serve as the thesis adviser. The adviser must be a member of the Academic Council.

  • Under the direction of the thesis adviser, complete at least two quarters of research with a minimum of 9 units of independent research; 3 of these units may be used towards a student’s Aero/Astro Focus Elective requirement.

  • Submit an honors thesis (20-30 pages) to department. Thesis must be signed by faculty major advisor and the undergraduate program director.

  • Signature and Title pages of finished thesis should be emailed to dlazar@coursedog.edu by end of May.

  • Attend Research Experience for Undergraduates Poster Session or present in another suitable forum approved by the faculty adviser.
