Undergraduate Research

Exposure to nanocomposite materials research during undergraduate education constitutes an invaluable learning tool. It allows undergraduate students to learn how to collect experimental data and, ultimately, how to generate new knowledge. The undergraduate project is funded through the undergraduate research programs at the USA, such as NSF REU and CSEMS program. In addition, the undergraduate research expands the horizons of students in nanocomposites science and technology.

ACE Students at the Laboratory for Composite Materials Research

ACE (Accepting the Challenge to Excel) is a college program specially designed to help high school juniors explore careers in engineering and prepare for university-level training. Through ACE, juniors find out what engineers do and how they use math, science and the language arts to solve particular problems.

Engineering Open House at the Laboratory for Composite Materials Research

Every year, as a part of National Engineers Week, the USA College of Engineering opens its doors to areas schools. During this event, engineering faculty and students give demonstrations and offer hands-on activities related to science and engineering. This is a good opportunity for students to learn about what engineering students study and what professionally engineers really do.
