About Undergraduate Research

Research is not just for graduate students. More faculty and laboratories are inviting engineering undergraduate students to share in one of the most important activities of the university - discovery.
By participating in research projects, you apply the knowledge from your classes to solve real-world problems. You build your professional network by working with faculty and graduate students and complement your industrial internship experiences. If you are considering graduate school, participating in research is an excellent way to prepare.
Here's how to get started:
- Learn how to find a project.
- Learn about programs and funding for undergraduate research.
- Hear what students have to say about their undergraduate research experiences.
Applications for Intel REU and Crane REU are not being accepted at this time. Check back in autumn.
