|
April 24, 2007 -- University of Wyoming and state community college students will explain nearly 200 projects during Undergraduate Research Day 2007, set for Saturday, April 28.
Oral presentations will be held in the College of Engineering building from 1-5:30 p.m. Poster presentations will take place in the Wyoming Union Family Room from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Undergraduate Research Day is an annual spring event at UW recognizing and celebrating the accomplishments of undergraduate student researchers.
"Look at the kind of work undergraduates are doing here at UW," says Bill Gern, UW vice president for research and economic development. "It's amazing and it underscores the fact that students have remarkable opportunities to spend a lot of one-on-one time with faculty, doing work that only graduate students do at many larger schools."
Individual presentations are limited to 15 minutes, followed by a five-minute question and answer session. Students will present research in areas such as agriculture, business, education, engineering, health sciences, biological and physical sciences, mathematical sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities. A complete list of student projects can be seen by visiting www.uwyo.edu/epscor-wise and clicking on "2007 Wyoming Undergraduate Research Day."
Research Day is sponsored by the UW offices of Research, Student Affairs, and Academic Affairs; and also, by the College of Arts and Sciences Summer Independent Study Program, the College of Agriculture, the College of Engineering, the College of Health Sciences, Idea Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence, UW Honors Program, Wyoming EPSCoR, the Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium, and the McNair Scholars Program.
