Research is an essential component of undergraduate education at N.C. A&T. The Office of Undergraduate Research works with and promotes the university's existing program and is creating new opportunities, such as the Undergraduate Research Symposium, first held in September 2010, and Undergraduate Research Day, held each year during Research Week in April.

Innovation Challenge 2013

Freshman and sophomore students are invited to form small teams in a competition of creativity and ingenuity. Teams are challenged to create something new and different -- a product, a device or a new way of doing something. Entries are judged on innovation, practicality, and benefits of the innovation, and other criteria. Click here for information on the 2013 challenge.
