Undergraduate Research

Inquire and Create!
All of our engineering programs require students to complete a research or design project during their senior year. Whether it is basic science or product design, these projects encourage you to exercise your judgment, hone your communication skills, and express your creativity.

Undergrad research Build a team!
Many professional organizations sponsor design contests where you can compete with other students groups from across the nation. Each year, NASA encourages undergraduate students to compete for an opportunity to conduct experiments in zero-gravity conditions.

Gain experience and earn money!
Most of the professors in the School of Engineering engage in scholarly research and welcome the assistance of undergraduate students. Projects sponsored by industry and government agencies lead to on-campus job opportunities for undergraduates during the school year and in the summer.

Undergrad research Share your work - locally and globally!
All students are invited to participate in Alfred University's Annual Undergraduate Research Forum. Many professional organizations host speaking contests and poster sessions at regional, national, and international conferences. Undergraduate researchers are encouraged to co-author papers with their advisors in journals with world-wide circulation.
