Since 2006, Florida Tech has hosted the annual Design & Research Showcase in the Clemente Center on a Friday in early April.  This Showcase includes dozens of posters and other project materials developed by undergraduate students, working on their own or in teams, from all academic departments in the College of Science (COS) and the College of Engineering (COE). Our students participate in these research projects to gain hands-on experience in applying science and the fundamental principles of their major. The students must conceive, research and/or design and implement the project. Additionally, they will prepare a final write up in a scientific journal format appropriate to their major, and present the final outcome of their work. The project simulates a real-world research and work environment in a variety of science fields. The students apply theory, think creatively and develop practical skills such as teamwork, professionalism and leadership.  This year projects will be showcased in the Florida Tech Clemente Center for Sports & Recreation on Friday, April 3rd, 2009.

LASER Day was designed for Brevard County High School (Grades 10, 11 & 12) and community college students as well as their guidance counselors, teachers and parents. This Fall’s event will be held on the Florida Tech Campus on Wednesday, November 4th from 2:15 pm – 8:15 pm. This is a free event sponsored by the College of Science, College of Engineering and College of Psychology and Liberal Arts. We believe that the study of science, engineering and liberal arts is exciting and LASER Day is one way we can introduce you to this very excitement. Our program allows you the opportunity to choose three specific areas of interest to you, visit laboratories and attend presentations about chemistry, engineering, the space sciences, marine biology, media and music, to name a few. You will also have the opportunity to observe working research laboratories and discuss research projects with the faculty conducting them.
