Interested in getting involved as an undergraduate student?

If you are a Virginia Tech engineering student interested in helping with the Virginia Tech Electromagnetic Launcher project, please send an email to the address given below. US citizenship required.

Virginia Tech students of all years and majors are welcome to help in the ECSL. Though the project is primarily associated with electrical engineering, students of all engineering majors are encouraged to apply to participate for independent study or 4805/6 senior capstone design opportunities. Our team also consists of returning volunteers and graduate research assistants. Interested undergraduate students must be United States citizens and willing to commit at least ten hours of lab time per week into the project, in addition to the roughly two hour weekly meetings. This project is a unique opportunity to work alongside the US Navy while still a student, providing invaluable experience and credentials not available anywhere else. In addition, students can earn credits or wages, depending on their involvement in the project. Undergraduates are recruited for independent study and senior capstone design every semester.
