Answers:

1. I am an undergraduate, how do I get involved with Fuel Cells?

Undergraduate students will gain exposure to the theory and concepts associated with Fuel Cells in many of their Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering courses. In addition to this, during the senior-year Major Design Experience course students have an opportunity to request assignment to a multidisciplinary project focused on design aspects of Fuel Cells and their application. This activity is coordinated within the individual department and the students should request information from the respective course instructors.

Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to work with faculty in the fuel cell area as student support. This activity needs to be coordinated directly with faculty who have ongoing research activities within this area. Reference Undergraduate Openings for a listing of opportunities.
