Research Expo is an annual public event that features exhibits that illustrate the scope of engineering and the applied sciences — and their potential for improving the world. This year’s Exhibit will celebrate the incredible academic contributions of our community and the ways in which they connect to Tandon’s seven areas of research excellence. The most exciting work being done in labs and prototyping facilities comes alive for spectators of all ages!
Stop by the Tandon Research Excellence Exhibit to view and experience 43 incredible projects, and enjoy amazing giveaways including Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, popcorn, cotton candy, a 360 photo booth, and more!
The Exhibit is free and open to the public.
