Students interested in pursuing research with an engineering faculty member and Commonwealth College students will be given preference.
Research is very time-intensive.
I didn't do research as an undergraduate during the school year, but I did have the great good fortune to work for four summers in the GE Research and Development Center in Schenectady. I knew as an undergraduate that there were wonderful careers in industrial research because I'd experienced it first-hand. Almost all of my education was paid for by scholarships and fellowships, so I know the difference scholarships can make. The Armstrongs also have endowed an engineering chair at Harvard, where John Armstrong received a B.A. in physics and a Ph.D. in applied physics. Elizabeth Armstrong has an A.B. in mathematics from Radcliffe College.
