Mason Engineering celebrates undergraduate student research

The Volgenau School of Engineering will hold its sixth annual Undergraduate Research Celebration on Tuesday, April 16 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Dewberry Hall in the Johnson Center. The celebration provides an opportunity for Mason Engineering students to showcase their research and scholarship for the school and university community.

The competition encourages all types of research, design, and scholarly work including individual or group projects, research projects with a faculty mentor, course projects at any level, student organization activities, or research from an outside internship.

Representatives from local employers serve as judges, but attendees may also vote for a favorite through a special People’s Choice Award. Outstanding Project Award winners and People’s Choice winners receive a cash prize of $1,000.

Students with winning projects will also be invited to participate in the university’s 2019 Celebration of Student Scholarship on May 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Center for the Arts.
