Seventeen engineering students to present at national undergrad research conference

Seventeen Iowa State University engineering students were selected to present their research at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.

NCUR will bring together about 4,000 students from across the nation on April 4-7 to present their research projects, learn more about graduate schools, attend professional development workshops, and network.
