This guide compiles guidelines and resources for undergraduate and graduate students in the Inamori School of Engineering completing a thesis or capstone project. The information in this guide is applicable to most students in the School of Engineering and is a good place to start. Students are highly encouraged to consult with their advisor(s) and the Engineering Librarian about their specific project.
The goal of everyone involved in the thesis/capstone process is for students to finish with a meaningful, professional piece of work that they can be proud of. We strive to give students the tools and information they need to be successful; students are expected to invest the time and effort necessary for a major project.
Scholes Library collects, preserves, and makes available the theses of BS, MS, and PhD students going back to the 1930s. When you have finished your thesis/capstone, it will be added to the library collection.
Theses in the Scholes collection are all given a call number beginning with "TP2," with more specific numbers for each field of study/degree.
Ceramic Engineering, Glass Science, Materials Science, and Biomaterials Engineering:
Electrical Engineering
