Every semester, the Grainger College of Engineering hosts the Engineering Research Fair. The research fair is held at the beginning of the semester to showcase the variety of research across the College and to provide resources to undergraduate students, including information about research opportunities on- and off-campus.
Undergraduate research is a high-impact best practice in undergraduate education. Research experiences help transform students into scientists and engineers and prepare them for graduate and professional schools. Through research experiences, our students become part of the research community, engage in mentored research, and connect with other undergraduate researchers. They also develop technical, communication, and interpersonal skills.
This SPRING 2025, we are partnering with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to bring you the 1st Undergraduate Research Opportunities Fair.
Spring Undergraduate Research Opportunities Fair
The Grainger College of Engineering, in collaboration with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will host the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Fair on February 11, 2025, 4-6PM, at Illini Union Rooms A, B, and C. The fair is an opportunity for presenters to:
- Recruit undergraduate students for research opportunities
- Expose students to various science and engineering research and connect them with the research community
- For researchers (undergrads, grad, postdoc) to conduct demos or present their work
