Student Research
In addition to teaching classes, our faculty are passionate about research.
They encourage students to get involved and expand on what they learn in the classroom by assisting them with their efforts and guide undergraduates interested in pursuing their own research projects through programs like UROP.
Student research can have real world implications as demonstrated by a group of our electrical engineering students that participated in the Air Force Research Lab Challenge. The 2017 team created a robotic pack mule that the military now uses and may replicate in order to help soldiers haul heavy equipment over rough terrain.
