Two Penn State students, Michael Bichnevicius and Cassandra Carrick, have been honored by the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and Technology’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). Bichnevicius and Carrick will both gain valuable hands-on research experience and work with cutting-edge technology in the Washington, D.C., area this summer.
Depletion of the ozone layer has been a major source of environmental concern for decades. Penn State Altoona professor Kofi Adu and his students are researching ways to heat and cool the earth without using dangerous substances.
Three Penn State Altoona engineering students needed a senior project that was interesting, workable, and affordable. What they came up with might not be a far-fetched idea for the future.
The fair allows students to present the culmination of their work from a traditional research/creative activities experience, an internship, or a course-based undergraduate research experience.
