Research Opportunities
While MS Professional students typically pursue project-based and curriclum-driven learning, MS Thesis students听work in research labs alongside PhD students and a faculty research advisor. MS Thesis students focus on听air quality, biomedical engineering, material science and engineering, mechanics of materials, micro/nanoscale, robotics and systems design, or听thermo fluid sciences.听Boulder is also听home to a variety of well-known companies and labs doing research and development. Our faculty researchers and their research groups, for example, often collaborate with scientists at federal research labs including听National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
