The Faculty of Engineering recently hosted an event to congratulate and present awards to this year’s crop of summer undergraduate researchers.
Each Summer Research Experience program participant created a poster to showcase their research project and gave a short presentation to both their supervisors and peers.
Over the past few months the group of 25 dedicated students have spent 13 weeks working on varied research projects across all Departments of the Faculty of Engineering. Over 150 students from around the country competed to earn a place in the elite summer research program.
The Faculty of Engineering pioneered the Summer Research Experience Program in 2005, to attract the brightest undergraduate minds, expose them to relevant academic research and provide an opportunity to conduct research themselves.
Associate Professor Chris Davies, Director of Research Training, who heads up the Summer Research Experience Program says the Engineering Faculty is committed to conducting the program again at the end of 2008.
