“Undergraduate (UG) research is an important component of today’s engineering education. Research experiences allow students to explore beyond the classroom by applying concepts towards scientific discovery and the development of products and technologies that impact society.” From the Proceedings of the 122nd American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference and Exposition, Paper ID #13871, June 2015.
Helpful information about undergraduate research, including how to approach (and impress!) a faculty member, available funded training programs, Honors College and COE Honors, and extramural research internships can be found on the website for the UTSA Office of Undergraduate Research.
