Research and Development

There are many opportunities for students to gain experience through research and development projects. These are the main on-going research projects in the department. Students may also find that the individual faculty may have smaller research projects, both funded and un-funded, that may be of mutual interest.

Students wishing to join any of these projects should contact the project coordinator (listed below). Projects that are funded to employ students are competitive.
