A Celebration of Student Research Presentation Days May 5 and 7, 2014 1
A Celebration of Student Research Student research is an integral part of the Harvey Mudd College experience, and during Presentation Days each spring, the entire College community is invited to celebrate students’ original proj- ects in design or research. Our students grapple with real-world problems through individual and group research projects across all disciplines. Our professors use research as a powerful teaching tool that promotes learning well beyond the classroom and the laboratory. For many Harvey Mudd students, these intense research opportunities spark a lifelong love for a previously unconsidered fjeld, help them lead diverse teams from many varied disciplines and provide them with the fmexibility to change careers over time. Each year, more than 200 students participate in Presentation Days, and every department at the College is well represented. From groundbreaking individual research done by graduating seniors to engaging and eye-opening design projects done by fjrst-year students, the emphasis throughout Presentation Days is on student achievement. You’ll fjnd the presentations listed by room and then by time. The 2014 Presentation Days Committee members are Elizabeth Glater, Kash Gokli, Lelia Hawkins, Colleen Lewis, Rachel Mayeri, Michael Orrison, Nicholas Pippenger and Patricia Sparks. Special thanks go to Stephanie Graham, Eric Ditwiler and the Offjce of the Dean of Faculty.
