About

Join us on May 9th, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 5:15 PM for the School of Engineering and Technology Research Showcase, a dynamic afternoon highlighting innovation, collaboration, and student excellence. The event features up to 46 student research posters and lightning talks. Attendees can explore ideas through two expert panels—Engineering & Infrastructure, and Research & Industry in Collaboration—as well as participate in 1 of 2 concurrent sessions on Speed Granting and Networking with SET Alumni. Three guided lab tours will offer a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge work in Wireless IC, Information Assurance & Networking, and Civil Engineering. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with everything research at the School of Engineering and Technology!
