MS Students

Winston Bess, Masters student in CEE
Students pursuing the MS thesis track are conducting original research and writing a first-author publication (that serves as the thesis). Students pursuing the MS project track in my group conduct literature review and/or make research contributions towards co-authorship on a journal publication. Most MS Project students in Environmental Engineering will complete their project requirement by enrollment in our Spring quarter graduate capstone project course (ECI 291).
