Our undergraduate students can start working with a faculty member in a field they are interested in, starting from their second year. These studies give fruitful results particularly in the junior and senior years. Through these studies, our students participate in research and gain experience in writing articles during their undergraduate education. Students can also perform these studies within the scope of elective courses (CS390 Individual Research Study and CS490 Senior Research Project) that are part of the curriculum.
In the Spring 2026 semester, a total of 28 students took CS390 and CS490. The final presentations were held on May 14-15, 2026. We congratulate all our students for their successful completion of these research projects.
