Participation in undergraduate research allows students to gain true experiential education and take part in the process of discovery, develop new skills, and co-author scientific journals.
Undergraduate researchers are mentored by various faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Students generally work for salary, no salary, or academic credit for CHE 497/498 — Chemical Engineering Projects — where they work with their advisor to develop a semester-long timeline.
