Found her actual Thesis on the NPS website. It's attrocious. She mispelled "college", renamed the department that she was studying under (she put Mechanical & Astronautical Engineering, the department is Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering), and the Thesis states that she's going for a MS in Mechanical Engineering.
Oh my... I skimmed this too quickly when I first read it this morning.
On the other hand, she does exhibit correct use of the Oxford Comma in her thesis.
