Lehigh Engineering's annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, held each spring, showcases the intense academic capabilities of today’s rising Lehigh Engineers, and highlights the resources and opportunities Lehigh provides to undergraduates.

Each year, the event helps student-competitors, nominated by their departments, learn how to express the significance and complexity of their work and answer questions posed by faculty, students, and visitors.

The top finishers, judged by a panel of academic and industry researchers, win travel stipends to attend professional conferences yet another opportunity to promote their work and practice the art of communication. In 2013, Lafayette College will once again participate by sending an equivalent number of participants/teams from its undergraduate engineering student population. The top six winners from the David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium will present at the 2013 University Academic Symposium on April 4, 2013.
