agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: No point in trying to guess the equivalent in another education system. Also, we know that this is the c.v. of an architect, and the curriculum is a little different from the standard academic program.

Senior Thesis


Explanation:
I would just use this one single term to cover these two terms in question.

http://homeworktips.about.com/od/seniors/qt/thesis.htm
A senior thesis is a large, independent research project that students take on in the senior year of high school or college to fulfill a graduation requirement.

http://ilrioprep.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/tips-on-choosin...

Pg. 03 = Thesis or research opportunities? Some schools require that all students write a thesis, equivalent to a Brazilian monografia, their senior year. Do you find the idea of conducting a longer, more in-depth project appealing? Other schools make have no such requirement but still provide opportunities for undergraduates to engage in research projects alongside top faculty.

Pg. 11 = Would you be interested in writing a senior thesis, much like a Brazilian monografia ? (Some colleges require them; at others, theses are optional.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis
Thesis is also used to describe a cumulative project for a bachelor's degree, and is more common at selective colleges and universities, or for those seeking admittance to graduate school or to obtain an honors academic designation. These are called "senior projects" or "senior theses;" they are generally done in the senior year near graduation after having completed other courses, the independent study period, and the internship and/or student teaching period (the completion of most of the requirements before the writing of the paper ensures adequate knowledge and aptitude for the challenge). Unlike a dissertation or master's thesis, they are not as long, they do not require a novel contribution to knowledge, or even a very narrow focus on a set subtopic.

Pls. note that term paper is for each semester, not the full degree course work:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_paper
A term paper is a research paper written by students over an academic term, accounting for a large part of a grade. Term papers are generally intended to describe an event, a concept, or argue a point. A term paper is a written original work discussing a topic in detail, usually several typed pages in length and is often due at the end of a semester.
