The Energy Science and Engineering program leading to the Bachelor of Science with Honors provides an opportunity for independent study and research on a topic of particular interest. It culminates in a written report and oral presentation.

The honors program is open to students with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.5 in all courses required for the Energy Science and Engineering major and a minimum of 3.0 in all university coursework. Qualified students intending to pursue honors must submit an Honors Program Application to the undergraduate program director no later than the eighth week of their ninth quarter. Students are encouraged to apply to the program during winter quarter of their junior year. The application includes a short form, an unofficial transcript, and a two to three-page research proposal prepared by the student and endorsed by a faculty member who serves as the research advisor.

Upon approval, students enroll in the honors program via Axess. Students must enroll in a total of nine units of course Undergraduate Research Problems; these units may be spread out over the senior year and may include previous enrollment units for the same research project. Research undertaken for the honors program cannot be used as a substitute for regularly required courses. A formal written report must be submitted to the student’s research advisor no later than the fourth week of the student’s final quarter, and the report must be read, approved, and signed by the student’s faculty advisor and a second member of the faculty. Each honors candidate must present their research results orally.
