Supporting Undergraduate Research
LSU is one of the most generous universities in the country for supporting
undergraduate research and education in engineering and the sciences.
To attract top students, award-winning mechanical engineering professor
Su-Seng Pang and Minority Engineering Program coordinator Cheryle Peters
spearheaded several research and education programs supported by five
simultaneous National Science Foundation grants. The $1.09 million in
grants provides financial support, field trips, and hands-on experience
in laboratories for more than 60 exceptional students per year in engineering,
computer science, mathematics, and statistics. In return, recipients tutor
local schoolchildren in math and science, helping to prepare the next
generation of LSU scholars.
