2012 Undergraduate Research Symposium

This year’s Undergraduate Research Symposium was held on Friday, April 20, 2012. The research symposium allows students to demonstrate the product of their research efforts and creativity in solving problems with the mentoring of their research advisors. Undergraduate students presented twelve posters, and corporate partners of the department judged the competition.
