Elective Credit, Senior Design, Honor's Credit, and Master's Topics Motivated students will be permitted to get senior elective for their work via the university's Independent Study Option. Projects can evolve into a senior design project or an undergraduate honors thesis. Senior design projects are required for graduation. Projects can also evolve into a Master's thesis topic. This should be emphasized.
Publishing is great publicity for the company and it is used as another way to assess performance.
Motorola, for example, has a highly publicized financial reward system for their employees. Given this industry trend, participating MoSART students will be expected to publish their work in refereed journals as well as in the proceedings of national and international conferences. Recently, I send a student to Greece to present his work at the 5th IEEE Mediteranean Conference on Controls. General Skills Participating students will develop a myriad of skills which will be useful after graduation - whether they pursue positions in industry or graduate degrees. Please let students know.
