Past REU Publications + Posters

Summer Research with REU

This page lists all of the research papers and posters involving students participating in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program each summer. When each student applies, they choose which type of research interests them the most, then they are placed to work with one of our participating faculty mentors. Click the button below to learn more about each faculty member and the different type of projects they are working on.

Posters

Each summer, the students participating in the REU program create research posters to present at the WiSys SPARK Symposium, among the many other activities they are involved with during their ten weeks here at UW-Eau Claire. Broken down by year, you can view and download each of the posters below and learn more about each of the different research projects that the students have been working on.
