Undergraduate Opportunities

The ARSL has a handful 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. Some students also participate through paid summer and semester research positions offered by the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) or through other grants. If you are interested please send an email to awolek@charlotte.edu. Also, check here to learn more about OUR programs and apply at https://experience.charlotte.edu/
