Who is eligible to be a faculty thesis mentor?

Generally speaking, tenure-track faculty pursuing research advise research thesis students whereas career-line faculty serving as instructors for clinic or capstone courses serve as advisors for clinic or capstone project thesis students. If a faculty mentor leaves the university, the Departmental Honors Liaison guarantees the successful conclusion of the thesis work.

Are collaborative theses permitted?

A collaborative thesis is one where an Honors student works with one or more collaborators on the thesis.

A collaborative thesis is not permitted.

Are joint theses permitted?

A joint thesis is a single thesis that satisfies the requirements of multiple majors.

The determination of allowing a student to produce a joint thesis would be made on a case by case basis.

How does the Honors Thesis relate to other aspects for the major?

The basic idea is that students in EE or CE have just used their senior projects as the basis for their thesis, and they wrote a stand-alone version describing their work for Honors if they did a team project.  Most students, though, will do individual research projects.
