留学生に卒業論文発表会があるから参加しろと英語でメール書こうと思って気づく。「はて？卒業論文発表会って英語で何て言うんだ？」そういえば、アメリカの大学って卒業研究・卒業論文という制度がなかったような…。
調べてみた。こんな時に頼りになるのがwikipedia
Thesis examinations
One of the requirements for certain advanced degrees is often an oral examination. This examination normally occurs after the dissertation is finished but before it is submitted to the university, and may comprise a presentation by the student and questions posed by an examining committee or jury. In North America, this examination is known as a thesis or dissertation defense, while in England and other English-speaking countries it is called a viva voce.
"a thesis defense"といえば良いらしい。なので、"undergraduate thesis defense"とでも言えば良いのかな。
