The Engineering faculty are actively involved in a wide variety of research areas. Explore our website to see descriptions of past research work done by students working with faculty, or visit the SHARP-Summer Hope Academic Research Program website to see current research opportunities. Engineering students are also involved in research in other Hope Departments and in Off-Campus programs.
For the Engineering student, there are research opportunities in
In addition, there are several active physics research groups and also interdisciplinary research projects that combine aspects of chemistry, environmental science, and/or geology.
Both institutional funds and externally supported research grants pay students' summer stipends and allow travel to professional meetings to present results. Undergraduates become coauthors on research publications with their mentors. Into which area do you think you would fit? Developing and simulating aircraft autopilots? Designing and implementing controllers for robotics and space systems? Modeling the dynamic response of structures under blast loading? Evaluating chemical properties so that engineers can produce raw materials for products from plastics to pharmaceuticals? Studying the behavior of materials under loading?
