Research Programs at Tech
Traditional Undergraduate Research Program
Each participating student will receive a $1,500 stipend payable in three increments. For purposes of the awards, research is broadly defined and may include investigations of a cultural or historical question, documentary or production arts, as well as laboratory or field research more typically associated with the science or engineering disciplines.
Undergraduate students wishing to participate in the Undergraduate Research Program must submit a proposal. Proposals are now being accepted for AY 2013-14. Proposal deadline is 5:00 p.m. Thursday, March 14.
Please note: students should develop their proposals with the assistance of their Research Supervisor/Mentor. The Proposal must follow the guidelines.
