On behalf of the UROP Team, I cordially invite you to join us at the Seventeenth Annual UCI Undergraduate Research Symposium to be held on Saturday, May 15, 2010, in the Humanities Buildings. A record number of 505 projects will be showcased at this year’s event in 262 oral presentations and 274 poster presentations (31 projects will be presented in both formats).

This year’s theme, “Undergraduate Research: Launching the Future,” reminds us of the impact that today’s young researchers will have on our world. We are honored to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Marc Madou (http://mmadou.eng.uci.edu/), Chancellor’s Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering & Materials Science.
