Students pursuinga CIS thesis are eligible for thesis honors.Because this is an honors program, admission isnormally restricted to students whose names haveappeared on the Dean’s List at least two timesbefore their senior year. Students may take on anhonors thesis with one semester on the Dean’s Listif they have transferred to Tufts or have receivedspecial permission from their department. Theapplication process should be completed during thejunior year, including the summer of the senioryear. The student is responsible for finding an advisorycommittee (one principal adviser who is a fulltimefaculty member in the School of Engineering,and at least one other full time faculty memberfrom the faculty of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering,or industry expert). Admission to the programrequires formation of an advisory committee, consentof the student’s adviser, and approval of eitherthe student’s major department, or in the case of aCIS thesis the CIS Board. The membership of theadvisory committee and the title of the thesis mustbe registered with the Academic Resource Center.The advisory committee will be chaired by afull-time faculty member in the School of Engineering.Exceptions to this rule may be made at thediscretion of the department chair for the student’smajor. The committee will direct the student’sreading and research or other technical work, andwill guide the student in preparing for a qualifyingexamination in the area of investigation. All suchprograms will include two one-semester coursecredits (with at least one credit toward the concentrationelective). The thesis should be of qualitycomparable to a paper publishable in a peerreviewedjournal. Its subject and scope will beagreed on in advance by the student and sponsorand approved by the committee. The completedthesis will be presented for consideration no laterthan two weeks before the last day of classes of thestudent’s final semester.Each candidate for a degree with thesis honorsis required to undergo examination on the thesisand on the principal area of investigation. The specificcharacter of the examination is determined byeach advisory committee and may be oral or writtenor both. After the defense, a final copy of thethesis, in electronic form, should be submitted tothe Tisch Library archive.The advisory committee is empowered to determinethe level of thesis honors to be awarded, basingits recommendation on an evaluation of thethesis. Degrees are designated bachelor of science,with highest thesis honors, with high thesis honors,or with thesis honors. (Thesis honors will be indicatedon the student’s transcript, but not on thediploma.) Students who, in the judgment of theadvisory committee, have not attained the standardsrequired for a thesis honors designation, butwhose work is worthy of a degree, are recommendedfor the bachelor of science degree subjectto the general regulations. Students who, in thejudgment of the advisory committee, have attainedthe standards required for a thesis honors designationmay also receive the degree summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude, in accordance withthe procedures governing degrees with distinction.After the defense, a final copy of the thesisshould be submitted to Digital Collections andArchives (DCA). Beginning in academic year 2008-2009, the DCA will accept thesis submission electronicallyas an alternative to submitting a boundpaper copy. Please contact the DCA for more informationon how to submit your thesis. For answersto frequently asked questions and a style sheet, visitthe website: http://ase.tufts.edu/wts/seniorThesis.asp.Internship ProgramsInternships provide students with the opportunityto apply their education and skills directly toward afield-based situation, usually at an off-site organization.Most often, internships are paid positions thatare performed on a full-time basis over the summermonths, or for approximately ten to fifteen hours aweek during the semester. The Office of EngineeringInternships and Employer Outreach, located inDowling Hall, helps qualified engineering studentsidentify potential internship opportunities.Internships are typically performed without anacademic component, in which case students focusdirectly on the practical experience and tasks athand. However, in some departments, students alsohave the option of performing an internship foracademic credit. Students who wish to receive academiccredit for an internship must have a facultysponsor on campus as well as professional-levelsupervision at the workplace. Students must registerfor the relevant course within the department,and an internship agreement must be completed atthe time of registration. All agreements must be43
S C H O O L O F E N G I N E E R I N G >signed no later than the add-drop deadline for thesemester. At the end of the internship, students areexpected to complete a written project, whichdemonstrates what has been learned during theinternship experience. A minimum of 150 hours ofwork for the semester is required.Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s DegreesProgramThe School of Engineering offers exceptionalengineering students the option of pursuing one oftwo combined degree programs: a bachelor of scienceand master of science degree (B.S.-M.S.) or abachelor of science and master of engineeringdegree (B.S.-M.Eng.). Both bachelor’s and master’sdegrees are awarded only on completion ofthe entire program; a student may not receive onedegree earlier, even if the requirements for thatdegree have been met. Combined-degrees studentsmust pay four years of undergraduate tuition andtwo semesters of graduate tuition (plus continuationfees as applicable).Students seeking admission to the programmust submit an application to the Office ofGraduate Studies by November 15th of their junioryear. Admission to the program requires (1) aminimum cumulative GPA (through the fallsemester of the junior year) of 3.60 for the B.S.-M.S. program and 3.20 for the B.S.-M.Eng. program;and (2) acceptance by the department inwhich the student intends to complete the master’sportion of the program. Applicants admitted tothe combined-degree programs will be notified byJanuary 15th of their junior year.Combined-degrees students are expected to fulfillall the requirements of the bachelor’s degreeprogram (38 credits); of these, two graduate-levelcredits are allowed to count toward the master’sdegree requirements as long as they carry the designationof the department in which the master’sportion of the combined degree program is to becompleted.Students admitted to the combined B.S.-M.S.program receive summer research support for thesummers after junior and senior year. This summerresearch support provides salary at the level ofresearch assistants set by the School ofEngineering for three summer months. Studentsmay petition to opt out of summer research providedthey conduct master’s thesis work approvedby the student’s advisor and department.Degree Audit Reporting SystemDARS is a web based application that allows studentsto systematically assess their progress towarddegree completion. A DARS audit will reportdetailed degree requirements, how coursework canbe used to complete that degree, and completedand outstanding requirements. For more informationvisit http://degreeaudit.studentservices.tufts.eduGraduate ProgramsThe School of Engineering is the academic unit ofTufts University responsible for postbaccalaureatedegrees in engineering and computer science. Thenonacademic aspects of graduate engineering programs,such as admissions, registration, special studentprogram, transfer credit and degreecertification, are administered along with thenonengineering programs by the Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciences. Several combined undergraduate-graduatedegree programs are offered by theschool, including tracks in the traditional engineeringdisciplines, engineering management in collaborationwith the Gordon Institute, biomedicalengineering/medicine in collaboration with Tufts’health science schools, and international engineeringin collaboration with the Fletcher School ofLaw and Diplomacy.Through its six academic departments and theGordon Institute, the School of Engineering offersthe master of science degree (a thesis is required insome programs), the master of engineering degreethat is especially well suited for part-time, practicingengineers, and the doctor of philosophy degree inselected areas of research excellence. Students mayenroll full time or part time in any program subjectto the residence requirements described in theGraduate School of Arts and Sciences section ofthis bulletin. Departments award tuition scholarships,teaching assistantships, and research assistantshipson a competitive basis to graduateadmissions candidates. Prospective and current studentsshould consult with the individual departmentsto obtain detailed policies regarding degreerequirements and programs.44
