Approximately
10 students
per semester
have been
taken into
the mainstream
of faculty
research activities.
A limited
number of
students participate
for pay. A
larger number
of students
receive academic
credit. Funds
are made available
for materials,
supplies,
and travel
in support
of student-initiated
projects that
are part of
an ongoing
research project.
The Department
of Architecture
may have research
opportunities
that are not
listed here.
Particularly,
the design faculty
are often engaged
in research
in support of
their design
practice. Given
the nature of
this work, opportunities
may arise during
the year which
this document
cannot anticipate.
We encourage
students to
contact individual
faculty with
specific proposals,
and to check
with the departmental
UROP coordinator
to learn of
any new opportunities.
Further Information: See "Awards
& Funds" for
informaton on funding that
may pertain to your research.
Follow all UROP procedures
for pay or credit.
