Undergraduate Opportunities
The ARSL has a number of undergraduate students working in the lab at any given time on various projects. You can get involved by volunteering to gain engineering research experience or participate through paid summer and semester research positions offered by the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) and other grants. If you are interested please send an email to awolek@charlotte.edu. Also, check here to learn more about OUR programs at UNC Charlotte and apply at https://experience.charlotte.edu/
