Seventeen College of Engineering students at Michigan State University received University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF) awards at a ceremony held on April 21 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center.
UURAF is MSU’s premier showcase for undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity. The annual spring event brings together a community of undergraduate students motivated to share their work with faculty, staff, peers, and external audiences. Participants gain experience in presenting their research, answering questions about their work from audience members and guests, and receiving constructive feedback from judges.
