Engineering Undergraduate Research at The Grainger College of Engineering aims to provide undergraduate students with transformative learning experiences through research opportunities. Our goal is to engage our students and the research community in interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research to contribute to STEM workforce development. With renowned experts in science and engineering fields and 60+ state-of-the-art centers, labs, and institutes, the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign is the ideal place to develop future scientists and engineers.
Aligned with the College’s vision to deliver an elite engineering education to students, we support Grainger Engineering students in the following ways –
- Enhancing world-class engineering education with research experiences that prepare students to take on the world’s challenges and contribute to the betterment of society
- Developing research and technical skills through the learning-by-apprenticeship model for students to learn to conduct research independently in their future careers and graduate studies
- Turning passions into possibilities by helping them explore and nurture their interests in advancing research, innovation, and technology which touch all aspects of human life and our environment
