From horton at cs.virginia.edu Thu Aug 17 10:43:55 2006 From: horton at cs.virginia.edu (Tom Horton) Date: Thu Aug 17 10:44:02 2006 Subject: [Ugrads07] Re: [Csfaculty] Senior Thesis Topics In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <44E480AB.7050500@cs.virginia.edu> CS and CpE 4th years: Dean Marshall sent you the message below from the STS about the Sr. Thesis. CS majors who took CS390 shouldn't forget about what they heard in that seminar last spring. I've updated the webpage for that course to include all the slides that speakers gave me. It's here: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~horton/cs390/ Also, as Dean Marshall mentioned, there's a STS page where faculty can list projects they're interested in having 4th years work on. Enjoy these last days of summer break!
