| | | A thesis package at Texas A&M University |
When you write a Master's thesis or a doctoral dissertation, you must pay close attention to the thesis clerk's requirements for formatting the text on the page. Texas A&M University has a detailed thesis manual containing precise instructions.
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University maintains a LaTeX document class named eethesis that is intended to meet the thesis clerk's specifications. Although the document class is designed for theses in Electrical Engineering, you may be able to use it for your thesis with some modifications.
You can obtain the package from the TAMU EE TeX Download Page by grabbing the files eethecls.tar.gz and eethetmp.tar.gz and unzipping them. On a Linux system, you can unzip a file named file.tar.gz by using the command "tar xzvf file.tar.gz" (for example); on other Unix systems, you might have to execute the two commands "gunzip file.tar.gz" and "tar xvf file.tar" in sequence.
At the TAMU EE TeX page you will find documentation for the eethesis package.
Several thesis packages are available at CTAN for other universities. Some recently updated ones are adfathesis (Australian Defence Force Academy, University of New South Wales), muthesis (University of Manchester), pitthesis (University of Pittsburgh), ut-thesis (University of Toronto). There is also a generic thesis class with documentation in German.
