The 3rd Annual ME Graduate Student Research Expo Friday, April 19th, 2002 Mechanical Engineering Research Lab (MERL) Room 126 3:15 - 4:45 pm, followed by Happy Hour

Scope of the 2002 Expo

• All masters and undergraduates in engineering are invited.  This is a chance to see what research in graduate school is all about.  Students are encouraged to take a look at PhD student projects and learn more about the PhD process by talking face to face with current PhD students.  
• Engineering faculty are also encouraged to attend.
• Engineering graduate students are invited to attend and display a poster.
