Branching out<\/h2>

As one of the premier research universities in the nation, UW-Madison offers you an unparalleled opportunity to enhance your education as an undergraduate researcher in a professor’s laboratory. You’ll likely work alongside graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and even other undergrads\u2014and you might earn college credit or simply receive an hourly wage.<\/p>\n

As an undergrad researcher, you’ll learn lab safety and operations, research methods, and how teams work together to accomplish a common goal. You’ll gain exposure to new ideas and technologies and expand your knowledge of engineering. You might be part of game-changing advances that you and your colleagues describe in research publications or decide to patent. All of these experiences, and more, can also help prepare you for advanced studies in engineering and other fields, or to contribute specialized knowledge in the workplace.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n
