Maximize your undergraduate experience at UCF by participating in the Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT) program. Join us to learn more.About this eventThe Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT) program allows juniors and seniors from all disciplines to engage in original and independent research as principal investigators. Over the course of two to four semesters, students work closely with a faculty committee to research, write, defend, and publish an original thesis that serves as an honors capstone product of their undergraduate career. This thesis is published through the university library and is available to researchers worldwide through electronic databases.These information sessions cover the Honors Thesis eligibility requirements, program benefits, and an overview of the steps to complete an Honors Undergraduate thesis/creative project. During these sessions students learn about the process, benefits, ask questions, and fill out the Honors Thesis eligibility form to get started in pursuing original and independent research.RSVP is required at least 2 hours before the start time. The Zoom link and information will be sent to your UCF email account upon registering.ImportantSign-in using your UCF SSO Zoom account (with your full name and official UCF email) before opening the link for the meeting so your attendance can be recorded, and a follow-up email can be sent to your email account.Questions?Email HonorsResearch@ucf.edu.We hope to see you there!Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/aDbjGyXASEe064udDo56Iw Registration Link: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/aDbjGyXASEe064udDo56Iw Registration Info: RSVP required.

In this workshop, we'll focus on three key pillars of Python development: error handling, user-defined functions, and database programming.Firstly, we'll equip you with the tools to build robust and resilient code through comprehensive error handling techniques. Learn how to anticipate and gracefully manage errors, ensuring your programs not only function smoothly but also remain reliable in the face of unexpected challenges.Next, we'll explore the power of user-defined functions, enabling you to create modular and reusable code. Dive into advanced function design, parameter handling, and return statements, empowering you to write efficient and maintainable programs.Lastly, database programming will teach you how to interact with databases using Python. Learn to connect, query, and manipulate databases seamlessly, gaining a valuable skill set for real-world applications.By the end of this session, you'll possess a deeper understanding of Python's capabilities, enabling you to write more sophisticated, error-resistant, and scalable programs.To participate in the hands-on lab during the session, you will need to provide your own computer with a web browser and a reliable internet connection.This event is not being recorded. Any materials provided by the presenter will be sent to all registrants by the end of the second business day after the conclusion of the event. Please email ResearchITEvents@ucf.edu to request access to the materials two business days after the completion of the event if you did not register.Presented by [John Aedo, Ph.D.](https://rci.research.ucf.edu/events/fall-2024-workshops-speakers/#john-aedo)Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_efKnn3KBTYy69YG Registration Link: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_efKnn3KBTYy69YG
