These research experiences offer students the opportunity to be involved in cutting edge research, applying their knowledge and skills outside the classroom. The Office of Undergraduate Research has been developed to enhance existing programs at IIT and provide new opportunities for mentored collaborative research experiences for undergraduates. The office will promote and facilitate both intra- and extramural research opportunities.
