Missouri S&T’s Future Research Pioneers Program (FRPP) continues to foster innovation and hands-on learning through its annual poster presentation event. The 2024 FRPP Poster Presentation, held this semester, showcased the hard work and creativity of students who collaborated with faculty mentors on projects spanning various fields in engineering and science. The picture above features the awardees alongside their faculty mentors. Notably, Mr. Jon Schneider, an MAE alumnus and financial supporter of the FRPP, attended the award ceremony and shared words of encouragement and motivation with the students.
Each project represents a significant achievement in research and demonstrates the scholars’ dedication to tackling real-world problems. Congratulations to the following FRPP scholars and their mentors on their exceptional research accomplishments:
