Undergraduate Student Research

During the 2021–22 academic year, dozens of students participated in undergraduate research funded by Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity scholarships.

These competitive $1,000 scholarships are awarded to students interested in exploring an area of academic interest in greater depth outside of their regular classes. Source: Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

Justine Horst, electrical engineering, had a paper, “STEM Code Using Drones” published for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Integrated STEM Education Conference.
