Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Research Program
The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) helps students identify a research project during the academic year. Undergraduate students may pursue research for either academic credit or as a paid URP assistant working in the labs of world-leading Rensselaer faculty researchers. The sponsoring department or faculty member is responsible for the financial support a URP student assistant receives. In addition, the Office of Undergraduate Education will provide matching funds to the sponsoring department or faculty member up to a maximum of $500 per academic semester.
Example Projects:
- Vertical Profiler for the The Jefferson Project
- Law Enforcement Robots
