MIT Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

EECS Master Works

All students who are completing their Master's degree this term (including M.Eng., VI-A, or S.M. with 24-unit theses) were encouraged to give a 15-minute oral presentation at Master Works. From those who applied, 19 were selected this semester for inclusion in the program.

All Department faculty and students are invited to attend Master Works and thereby acknowledge the outstanding work done by Course VI Master's candidates. Faculty will be asked to judge the talks for quality of oral presentation. Case prizes will be awarded for excellence in presentation.

EECS Master Works will be held Monday, May 1, 1995, in Rooms 34-301, 34-302, 34-303, and 34-304. Eight sessions will be held, during two time periods, starting at 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Prize winners will be announced before 5:30 PM.
