MSU offers a variety of programs and opportunities for undergraduates interested in gaining research experience. The MSU Office of Undergraduate Research offers
workshops and curates a list of
on- and off-campus opportunities. Programs of particular interest to Engineering undergraduates include the
Pathway to Research and
research experiences hosted by the Honors College, as well as a wide variety of campus, national, and global
summer research programs.
During 2024-25, we are reviewing and restructuring undergraduate research activities in the College. At the moment, we do not plan to offer the EnSURE program during summer 2025 – but there will continue to be numerous supports for undergraduates interested in research, including the previously described programs offered through the Honors College and the Office of Undergraduate Research. Engineering faculty can continue to support undergraduate research assistants in their groups. We anticipate some transitional resources will be available for faculty mentors with externally-funded projects who planned to leverage EnSURE financial support.
