Research
A student working in a Biomedical Engineering lab
Want to develop prosthetics that enable children to walk or design a handheld, sign-language translation device? Interested in learning how nanotechnology will be used to treat medical conditions? Want to test the a human-powered submarine? Interested in chasing tornadoes? At a large University, if you want to do research there is no reason why you can’t. And not only that, you can probably research exactly what you are interested in. And you can start UROP your freshman year!

Students speak on their undergraduate and graduate research
Email in Exchange for an Experience

My Research Adventures
By Kate Gallup, Materials Science and Engineering on Friday, January 23rd, 2009As I set up the projector and let my heart rate reach normal, I mused on how I had come to be a researcher.
Creating the Solar Roller
By Kristine Cramer '09, Mechanical Engineering on Thursday, January 22nd, 2009If you’re not considering the simplest option to the most ridiculous dream-like design, then you’re not doing your job. This is where the fun begins.
