The Office of Undergraduate Research centralizes and serves as a clearinghouse for on- and off-campus research opportunities. The IIT Undergraduate Research Fellowships program supports funded, semester-long research projects that pair students with IIT faculty working in their field of interest. A total of 15 projects were funded last semester, with topics such as unmanned ground vehicles, nanoethics and low-cost water supply systems.
Eric Brey, Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Research and Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, notes that "there are many opportunities for undergraduates on campus; research that illustrates 'why they're doing what they're doing' is the bridge toward applying what they're learning in the classroom."
