Student Involvement and Opportunities
Internships
Current and past students have completed internships at many local and national industries, including Dell, and Whirlpool.
Undergraduate Research
Many faculty members provide opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved in research. This will help pave way for graduate studies. An undergraduate student working on Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) research is shown below. More opportunities for funding for research and travel can be found at the University Undergraduate Research Center page.
ASABE IQS Tractor Student Design Competition
We are a club of progressing engineering students applying our knowledge to designing a competitive tractor for the ASABE International Quarter Scale (IQS) Design Competition. Our team will achieve this goal by designing a safe, durable, and powerful machine. This will be done using modern lean design techniques and manufacturing technologies.
