Student Research Poster Session Winners

Nearly 50 posters were presented by graduate and undergraduate students at the 2006 Fall Student Research Poster Session. Thirteen awards were presented, ranging from $75 to $200.

The Graduate Student Council, with help from the Graduate School and the Alumni Association, hosted the poster session on Oct. 13 and 14 in the Memorial Union Peninsula Room.

The Student Research Poster Session is a forum for students, faculty and administrators to learn about the exciting research happening within different disciplines at Michigan Tech. The research presented often stimulates discussion and the generation of new ideas.

Several College of Engineering students participated and won awards.

The winners and their posters are shown below, if available.
