experiences of college. Other activities include student competition teams,such as the Formula SAE, ASME’s Human Powered Vehicle Challenge, ASCE’s Steel Bridge orConcrete Canoe, and several other national and international competitions.ADVANCE students also have opportunities to work with Mason faculty on research projectsand assist in real-world, hands-on laboratory and field studies. Research provides a foundationfor the advancement of critical thinking, project management and team skills as well asopportunities to practice oral and written communication skills. Early participation in research atMason will enable ADVANCE students to prepare competitive proposals for funding their ownresearch interests through Mason’s Office of Student Scholarship
