Shyam Agarwal Receives 2024 M.S. Ghausi Medal

"Getting the medal is definitely a validation for me," Agarwal said. "I honestly feel very humbled and blessed to be given the medal. Ghausi has done so much for [the College of Engineering] and for the computer science program, so I am very grateful both for his work and to be compared to someone like him."

Dean's Honor List

According to campus regulations, the quarterly Dean’s Honors List includes names of students who have completed, for a letter grade, a minimum of 12 units in a specific quarter with a grade point average equal to or higher than the minimum grade point average attained by the upper 16 percent of those registered in the same class level and college during that quarter. Dean's Honors lists will be posted quarterly and a notation of these honors will be placed on each student’s permanent record by the Office of the University Registrar. For more information about the Dean's Honors list criteria click here. The College of Engineering also recognizes its Dean’s Honors List honorees with message from the Engineering Undergraduate Office.

UC Davis College of Engineering congratulates the following students who have met the criteria for the Dean's Honors List this term. (A notation of this honor will appear on the students' permanent transcript.)

Grade Point Calculations for Graduation with Honors

Graduation with "honors" requires that a student meet the appropriate grade point requirement based on the number of UC units completed upon graduation. Grade point averages from the winter quarter prior to graduation are used to determine the averages that will earn an honors designation. An honors notation is made on a student's diplomas and on their permanent records in the Office of the University Registrar.

To see the grade point averages for the College of Engineering, please visit the Office of the University Registrar website.
