Engineering Undergrads Shine at Summer Research Forum 

At the University of Missouri, researchers are blazing new trails for more than just themselves—and that innovative spirit extends to student researchers. Undergraduate engineering students presented their summer research findings at the Office of Undergraduate Research’s Summer Undergraduate Research Forum. 

Mizzou Engineering hosts four NSF REU sites in critical research areas 

Mizzou Engineering empowers students to explore the world through leading-edge research and provides the necessary tools and guidance. This summer, students from across the U.S. have traveled to campus to take part in National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites (NSF REUs) and gain access to those tools while working with our world-class faculty. 

A variety of experiences: Moore spends summer conducting research

Marissa Moore, a senior chemical engineering student, is participating in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. We asked her a few questions about the experience.

Bridging the gap to graduate school: Spears gains research experience at REU over the summer

Before this summer, Nia Spears had never conducted research. Now, she says she feels prepared for graduate school, thanks to a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program funded by the National Science Foundation.
