Prospective Students

How research is done

Each student pursues one research theme. A weekly lab seminar helps develop the skills of a working engineer.

• You'll build up what you can do, step by step, with guidance along the way
• Explaining your own work builds real technical strength
• We encourage going on to graduate school and presenting at conferences — broaden your world

Who tends to thrive here

• ◎Interested in high-frequency technology and hands-on making, eager to try many things
• ◎Wants to build on their strengths through research, not limited by past grades
• ◎Enjoys working steadily, thinking things through, and making progress independently
