The Honors project is potentially the most valuable component of an Honors education. Typically Honors students choose to do their projects in their area of study, but some will pick a topic of interest unrelated to their major.
The Honors Program requires that the project be presented at a poster presentation event. Poster presentations are held each semester. Most students present during their senior year, but may do so earlier if their honors project has been completed.
This site presents project descriptions and selected posters for Honors projects completed since the Fall 2015 semester.

Abstract
This research attempts to illustrate the impact of the architecture's power on society through a critical perspective. Under the shadow of traditional architecture education, architects use their language to amend the imperfection of the society. Cities are becoming to the test site of the people’s dream. In fact, liken the behavior of eating in the restaurant, the movements proposed by architects or city developers are an urbanized brutal behavior. They are driven by the innate desire of surviving and breeding. This research using nowadays San Francisco as the site to verify the fiction made by architects and record the experience of living and working.
