Technology and Undergraduate Research

Student Projects

Faculty Mentor: C. Dianne Phillips, Full Professor, Science and Mathematics Division

The EMPACTS Lab affords students from a broad curriculum to engage in independent and small group Undergraduate Research, Technology, and STEM Design Projects.
A one hour credit course is designed to allow students to imagine and develop their ideas in a learner driven, technology, and curriculum driven project.

Students who have completed projects in an EMPACTS course or a high school EAST program and desire to continue and learn beyond the initial project.
Any student who wants to engage in entrepreneurial design or to hone, grow, or test their skills.
