“As a university leading in research and innovation, UW Madison offers ample opportunity for undergraduate students to dive right into the world of engineering research. With my time in the Laboratory of Energy Transport and Storage, I not only have gotten to apply what I have learned in my classes in a real-world setting, but I have also learned skills far beyond what is covered in typical coursework. From brazing to electrical wiring, and even obtaining HVAC certification, it seems as if every day I am gaining some wild new skill I can add to my engineering toolbelt!”
