Chem 191 Senior Thesis (two semesters)
The senior exercise in chemistry is designed to provide the student with an opportunity to examine a topic in depth and to communicate the results in both written and oral formats. Satisfying the graduation requirement for the senior exercise is achieved by successful completion of Chemistry 191a,b. There is one exception to this. Those with an interest in chemical engineering can satisfy the exercise by enrolling in the Engineering Clinic at HMC for two semesters if the project has a significant chemical component. Those selecting this option should make arrangements with the chemical engineering advisor and must in addition to the work required for HMC Engineering 112,113 also submit a written thesis to the department and give an oral presentation. Normally, the student enrolls in Chemistry 191a in the fall of the senior year and in 191b in the spring. In 191a, the student will be asked to submit short reports including an abstract of the work to be completed, an annotated bibliography, and a progress report on the work completed during the semester. In 191b, each student submits a written thesis and gives an oral presentation on the thesis.
