Bioengineering Master's Thesis Guidelines
A Bioengineering Master's. student who wishes to write a thesis must choose an
advisor and a suitable thesis topic before the end of his/her first semester of
graduate studies. The advisor must be a faculty member in the Bioengineering
Graduate Group.
At the time of registration for Thesis Research (BE 999), the graduate student must submit a brief written thesis proposal, approved and signed by the advisor and the Director of the Bioengineering MSE program. The proposal should typically contain a statement of the objectives of the work, the scope of the studies, and an outline of the proposed final document. Usually the student will conduct thesis research during the summer sessions but may also do so in the Spring semester.
Submitting the Master’s Thesis
The thesis must be prepared and submitted following the University of Pennsylvania Master’s Thesis Style Guide found on-line at http://www.upenn.edu/VPGE/masters.html.
The written thesis must be approved by the student’s thesis advisor and Bioengineering Graduate Group Chair, indicated by original signatures on the thesis cover page.
- Two unbound hardcopies of the approved thesis must be submitted to the Bioengineering Graduate Program Coordinator, 240 Skirkanich Hall. They will be bound (at the BE Graduate Group’s expense) for the advisor and the Graduate Group Thesis Library.
- Two unbound hard copies of the approved thesis must be submitted to the Office of Academic Programs at the School of Engineering, located in 111 Towne Building, through Betty Gentner.
