Undergraduate Research and Design Symposium – Oral Presentations April 27, 2018 Welcome to the College’s Undergrad uate Research and Design Symposium (UGRADS) Oral Presentations. We have reached the 25th year of oral presentations showcasing our Civil, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science capstone projects. Additional poster presentations featuring the varied intellectual accomplishments that result from undergraduate research throughout the college are in the Skydome in two sessions from 9:00 – 11:00am & 2:00 - 4:00pm. Presentations are arranged into three morning sessions (#1: 8:00 – 9:10am, #2: 9:20 – 10:30am, and #3: 10:40-11:25am) and two afternoon sessions (#4: 1:10 - 2:20pm & #5: 2:30 – 3:40pm), by discipline as shown below. All presentations will be in the du Bois Center meeting rooms. Lunch and the Keynote address will be in the du Bois Ballroom.
