Student Research

Undergraduate

There's a lot going on in Auburn's research labs.

The College of Engineering accounts for almost half of all research done at Auburn University. We house three of the university's seven peaks of excellence as well as 11 research centers. Faculty members also work in numerous department labs.

We encourage students with an interest in research to get involved as early as your freshman year. Many students find that the best way to start is to spend time learning about the work that our faculty members are doing and to identify an area they find interesting.

Our researchers are happy to discuss their work and many offer opportunities for undergraduates to participate. Part-time lab jobs and co-op programs offer other ways to gain experience in the lab. Students in some departments can also take advantage of the National Science Foundation's undergraduate research program.
