The department employs selected students each semester to receive laboratory assistantships.
Lab assistants provide important support for almost all the laboratories offered in the curriculum.
It is excellent experience for the assistants and it gives the faculty a good chance to get to know you. Take advantage of opportunities available in research, internships, and off-campus programs depending upon your area of interest. As you plan your course schedules, consider what is most interesting to you and what will provide you with the necessary background for what you want to do after you graduate.
