ECE Undergraduate Research Award

The ECE Student Awards Committee solicits nominations of outstanding students in six categories. In addition, seven more undergraduate awards will be chosen and given by the School of ECE and by the Eta Kappa Nu Honor Society, and an eighth – the Colonel Oscar P. Cleaver Award – will be determined by the ECE Graduate Committee.

Faculty and staff members only can submit nominations via the online form. Questions can be directed to Professor Durgin.

Undergraduate research is an opportunity for students to grow and mature in the pursuit of knowledge. This award recognizes an ECE student who has demonstrated an unusually strong aptitude for research. The award consists of a $500 check and a plaque.
