Outstanding Research Award

Each year the College of Engineering recognizes an outstanding undergraduate and graduate student from each department for their research contributions. These students are selected based on the quality of their research (typically they will have multiple publications in peer reviewed conferences and journals) and their potential to become leaders in their field.
