SENIOR PROJECTS mie last . , project Senior projects are a synthesis of a student ' s education. It is their way to demonstrate the theoretical aspect of what they have learned. It is also a good way to start your professional life. - Sevinc Yavuz As if graduating was not hard enough to achieve, seniors, on top of their course work, were required to complete a senior project or thesis. This project could range from writing an extensive paper to completing a complicated design. Often, seniors spent months preparing for this assignment, which could often make or break their college careers. Projects were not for a grade, but were reviewed by three faculty members and an adviser. Students had many different ways of going about the completion of projects. I had to write an 18-page paper on libel. I knew it had to be the best paper I had ever written in my life, senior Jennie Robilio said. Although I knew about the project for a year, I didn ' t begin to work on it until about a month before it was due. The weekend before it was due was horrible because I had so much work to do. Some seniors started far in advance to beat the rush of the last part of the school year. I knew that I would be very busy second semester so I wrote my senior thesis during the fall. If 1 hadn ' t done that, I would ' ve been so stressed during the entire spring semester, senior Sarah Wingfield said. Some colleges offer projects other than writing for their graduates. Architecture students have a number of routes they can take to complete the fifth-year program. They can work on independent projects like helping develop pro¬ grams for buildings in the area. By doing this, they can receive actual clients. They can also work through the University Design Center and help provide services to the community such as preliminary planning and urban design, fifth-year architecture school coordinator Sevinc Yavuz said. Professors, on the other hand, found the projects vital not only for students to be prepared for the real world, but also for them to show the University what they have learned. Senior projects are a synthesis of a student ' s educa¬ tion. It is their way to demonstrate the theoretical aspect of what they have learned, Yavuz said. It is also a good way to start your professional life. - Blair Luper 22

He was a little behind in math, which was needed for him to pursue his degree in mechanical engineering, and was tutored by professor Davis Richardson. During his senior year, Holloway had a campus interview with NASA and was offered a position. NOW Holloway has continued working for NASA since 1963. He has been director of the Phase One Program, which included a series of Shuttle- Mir docking missions leading to the development of the International Space Station Alpha. He is currently the manager of Space Shuttle Programs. He man¬ ages more than 20,000 people and handles a budget of more than $13 billion, with half going for the human space flight program. 23 SENIOR PROJECTS
