College students love new research experiences during the summer - especially those they can't explore at their home college. Nine undergrads from across the country will come to MSOE June 4-Aug. 11 to investigate two of our specialties - rapid prototyping and fluid power technologies.
The students work in the Rapid Prototyping Center, the only university laboratory in the country with all five commercially available rapid prototyping systems, and in the Fluid Power InstituteTM, a pioneer in motion control and fluid power education.
They hail from the following schools: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities; Purdue University (West Lafayette, Ind.), Baylor University (Waco, Texas); Louisiana Technical University (Ruston, La.), MSOE, Pennsylvania State University (University Park, Pa.), St. Mary's of College of California (Moraga, Calif.) and Universidad del Turabo (Gurabo, Puerto Rico).
Research Expereinces for Undergrads (REU) is funded by the National Science Foundation through grants for REU and the Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power.
