They also realize that the field ofengineering in academia and professional environment tends to be more rigorous than someother professions and requires high level of ethics and responsibility.Description of methodAfter many years of teaching this course, it has been realized that the purpose of offering anintroductory course in engineering could be threefold: a. To attract good students, especially minorities and females, to the field of engineering. b. To provide useful information about engineering for those who have undeclared majors and are

The research theme for this program is energy: specifically,catalysis, energy storage, and biofuels due to the pronounced expertise in these areas at LSU. Amajor strength of this REU program is the partnership with the LSU Business & TechnologyCenter which provides the REU students with training in technology transfer fundamentals andhow to pitch scientific ideas to non-scientists. In addition to the entrepreneurship training, theprogram offers weekly seminars in ethics, effective presenting, applying to graduate school,industrial safety, and topical seminars related to three main research areas of the programs.
