MIT Theses

MIT theses are comprehensive research projects written by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to explore and contribute new knowledge to their field of study. They typically involve identifying a problem, reviewing existing information, conducting original research or experiments, and presenting findings with analysis. The thesis demonstrates the student's expertise, critical thinking, and ability to communicate complex ideas clearly. Serving as a capstone of graduate or undergraduate work, a thesis helps advance understanding in areas like engineering, science, technology, or humanities, and often forms the basis for future research or professional projects.
