Faculty willing to supervise students for the Senior Project Course


The faculty members listed below wish to supervise students for the project course. Please contact them in person or by email to discuss the project.  If the faculty member you would like to work with is not listed, then simply ask the professor if they would be willing to supervise you.  Once you have discussed the project with your supervisor, I need a title and a brief description of the project signed by both the student and supervisor.  Once I have this we can give you permission to add the course.  Some of the faculty are only willing to supervise students who are taking the two semester version of the course since many projects are simply not suitable for one semester.
