Twenty posters from five schools will compete for three prizes during the Undergraduate Research Poster Competition on April 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the lobby of the Engineering and Computer Science North Building.
The prizes will be $300 for first place, $200 for second and $100 for third.
Competition is nothing new to these students, who will be showcasing the results of the research proposals that won them Undergraduate Scholar Research grants.
The semester-long awards gave the students $500 and their faculty adviser $300 to use on project-related expenses such as equipment or travel.
The poster competition and the initial competitive proposal process give these students a taste of some of the incentives and experiences common to graduate students.
Dr. Bruce Gnade, vice president for research, intends to make the process an annual event.
Poster topics include:
- Cost-efficient methods for tracking a flying rocket in real time.
- Use of carbon nanotubes for removal of cancer cells.
- Huntington’s Disease treatment in mice.
- Creating carbon nanotubes.
