-The [[CS Research Seminar Talks]] are talks given by faculty members and undergraduate research assistants on a variety of topics at the cutting edge of computer science research. Talks happen on Fridays at 12:20pm and occur roughly every couple of weeks, generally in ISAT/CS 243. The format is a 30-40 minute research talk with 10-20 minutes reserved for questions. All CS students (and other interested students and faculty) are invited to attend. Email announcements about each seminar will be sent to the CS listserv.+The [[CS Research Seminar Talks]] are talks given by faculty members and undergraduate research assistants on a variety of topics at the cutting edge of computer science research. Talks happen on Fridays at 11:30am and occur roughly every couple of weeks, generally in King 236. The format is a 30-40 minute research talk with 10-20 minutes reserved for questions. All CS students (and other interested students and faculty) are invited to attend. Email announcements about each seminar will be sent to the CS listserv.
  
-On the Fridays when there is no research seminar talk, some faculty and students involved in research projects have an informal research meeting in the form of a [[ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/brown-bag-meeting.asp | brown bag]] lunch at 12:20pm in ISAT/CS 246. There is generally a "quick update" session where everyone talks briefly about any ongoing research work, and often project groups will use this time as an opportunity to discuss technical topics and problems relevant to the project. Some people come to talk about their ongoing projects and others come just to hear about what is going on in the department.+On the Fridays when there is no research seminar talk, some faculty and students involved in research projects have an informal research meeting in the form of a [[ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/brown-bag-meeting.asp | brown bag]] lunch at 11:30am in King 260.

 If you are interested in research but aren't sure what you'd like to do, who you would like to work with, or even how to get started, the best way to get started is to begin attending these two events. Everyone is welcome, even freshman students! If you are interested in research but aren't sure what you'd like to do, who you would like to work with, or even how to get started, the best way to get started is to begin attending these two events.

 The honors thesis generally consists of a three-semester sequence beginning in the Spring of your Junior year, where you enroll in a 1-credit CS499A course and work with your faculty advisor to do some preliminary research and write a project proposal. In the Fall of your Senior year, you enroll in a 3-credit CS499B and do the majority of the work. Finally, in the Spring of your Senior year, you enroll in a 2-credit CS499C and finish any leftover work while writing and finalizing your final report and/or software deliverable. You will also present your work as part of the research seminar series in your final semester. The honors thesis generally consists of a three-semester sequence beginning in the Spring of your Junior year, where you enroll in a 1-credit CS499A course and work with your faculty advisor to do some preliminary research and write a project proposal.

-If you are interested in this option, you should find a project or problem that you'd like to work on and request a meeting with a faculty member who might be interested in advising you. You should also look at the [[student:honors_capstone:start|CS Honors Capstone Guidelines]].+If you are interested in this option, you should find a project or problem that you'd like to work on and request a meeting with a faculty member who might be interested in advising you.

 +===== ODE Viewer =====
 +
 +Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) are used to model changes in real-world systems using numerical simulation. Often, mathematicians and scientists wish to visualize the results of these simulations and see what happens when particular parameters are changed. This is also useful to students who are learning about these systems. This project would involve extending a rudimentary tool written as part of a Summer 2021 project that was a collaboration between Dr. Lam and faculty in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
