Want some research experience for your graduate school application? Want to get your hands dirty and have some fun in the lab? Here EStud presents you with the Undergraduate Research Agency Program! Check us out online at our web site.

The Undergraduate Research Agency Program is the interface between faculty interested in working with undergraduates and students looking for research opportunities. We know that it is not always easy to find research opportunities that you are interested, so we have found them for you! The Undergraduate Research Agency has reached out to the Engineering Faculty to compile research opportunities across every engineering major.

Why research?

• Help you with your 4th year thesis
• Help identify your academic interests
• Polish your grad school application
• Network with faculty members
• Learn technical skills and earn academic credits
• Earn some money

How the program works?

We have collected the research projects open to undergraduates at the Engineering School. These projects need qualified students who meet the requirements listed by the faculty member, including relevant course work, GPA, technical skills, etc. Students get paid or credit for their work depending on the professor’s preferences. Visit our website for more details!
