In addition to GRO-MECS, faculty can fund research students through the Seubert Engineering Entrepreneurial Design awards.
SEED funds are available to support research students who participate on a project with an entrepreneurial component. The main purpose of this challenge is to stimulate technological innovation that show promise of social and/or commercial impact.
Preference is given to projects that address climate, sustainability and societal and environmental impacts, will result in students co-authoring an academic paper for publication, or have a strong possibility of becoming a senior design project the following academic year.
