Research and Internships

Honors Students conduct important research on campus and at major corporations, medical and research institutions, architectural and design firms, banks, and many other types of organization. With professors or other mentors they work on cutting-edge projects such as high speed algorithms, the development of wireless communications, the mathematical modeling of medical processes, or modeling an urban development project. The Honors College regularly sponsors students to present their findings at scientific and technical meetings, such as Sigma Xi (the scientific research society), the American Chemical Society, and the National Collegiate Honors Council.

Honors student Ashish Shah (2006 Honors graduate, Electrical Engineering):
"Research has given me a chance to think outside the box of academics. It also provided me with in-depth understanding in the field of wireless communication. This research experience has given me a taste of life as a researcher, which will be very helpful in further education."
