What opportunities are there to do undergraduate research in chemical engineering at Michigan Tech?
Undergraduate research is an excellent idea for all students, but it is an especially good idea for those who are interested in attending engineering graduate school after completing their B.S. degree in chemical engineering. There are three paths to undergraduate research experience at MTU (for info on off-campus possibilties, click here), and all three of them begin with speaking with a professor. You must go to individual professors, presumably those who do research in areas that you find interesting, and discuss with them what types of opportunities there are to do research in their laboratories. There are three types of research arrangements possible: • research for credit; • research as a part-time job; • research as an unpaid intern. If you would like to do research for credit towards your undergraduate degree, you may sign up for CM4000 Chemical Engineering Research. You may obtain a form for signing up for this course from the CM main office, and you must have a chemical-engin
