For Swartz (pictured presenting above), this opportunity held similar resonance for her research opportunities.
\u201cPresenting at the Student Scholar Symposium was an incredible experience that allowed me to share the research I\u2019ve been working on to the Chapman community while connecting with others and hearing about their inspiring work! I am so grateful for this opportunity and the resources that Chapman offers for students to learn outside the classroom,\u201d said Swartz.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Wednesday, May 7, and Thursday, May 8, 2025, Fowler School of Engineering (FSE)<\/span><\/a> students showcased their extensive academic research at the Spring Student Scholar Symposium. At this bi-annual event organized by the <\/span>Center for Undergraduate Excellence (CUE)<\/span><\/a>, undergraduate engineering researchers engaged the wider Chapman community by presenting their investigative journeys and discoveries. Through a series of poster sessions and oral presentations, students demonstrated their dedication, creativity, perseverance, and progress, highlighting their roles as\u00a0 FSE scholars advancing cutting-edge technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am continually impressed by the thoughtful, diverse, and innovative projects that our students undertake,\u201d shared Dr. John Hunter<\/a>, who recently rose to serve as Director of the CUE. \u201cI hope that this Symposium serves as a meaningful event that not only honors student achievement, but also acts as a stepping stone that launches our students on a path to impactful success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Guided by their faculty advisors, each student explored an engineering topic that aligned with their personal interests and academic goals. The event showcased their findings across a wide range of research experiences, thanks to dedicated Fowler faculty mentorship, research funding, and the drive to make the world a better place through their discoveries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Grace Swartz (Computer Engineering, \u201826) and Vanessa Sullivan (Electrical Engineering, \u201826), this meant sharing their group\u2019s unique prototype\u2014an assistive technology that uses tactile and thermal feedback to assist blind or visually impaired users in distinguishing colors\u2014with an eager crowd via an oral presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mego will be graduating this May with a degree in Software Engineering.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed the Spring Symposium as it allowed me to present my work to listening ears and hear any questions that they had, which also helped present new questions to further our research,\u201d expressed Sullivan. \u201cGetting to this point has involved lots of hard work, but being able to summarize and present on what we have been working on has felt incredibly rewarding and motivating to keep improving upon our research!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting involved with research labs and faculty-led projects allows our engineers to gain hands-on experience throughout their academic career, deepening their understanding of real-world applications and building valuable mentorship connections that enhance their professional growth. For many of Fowler\u2019s engineers, the Symposium presents a rich opportunity to present these skills and experiences before a more formal stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis experience gave me the opportunity to showcase months of research in a professional setting and receive valuable feedback from faculty and peers,\u201d shared Daniel Mattar (Computer Engineering, \u201827). Mattar\u2019s research\u2014conducted with Dr. Andrew Lyon and \u201823 graduate Elif Narbay\u2014can help us understand how proteins behave in tight spaces under pressure, which can support designing new materials for medical uses: healing wounds, building tissue replacements, or creating blood-clotting agents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of preparing the poster also helped me better understand how to communicate my work clearly, which is something I know will help me in future academic and industry settings. I\u2019m really grateful for the support from Fowler and especially Dr. Lyon. I am also grateful to have the chance to be part of such a collaborative, research-driven community at Chapman,\u201d stated Mattar.<\/span><\/p>\n

For numerous FSE presenters, this opportunity allowed them to expand upon research shared at previous symposiums, demonstrating how their project has continued to evolve throughout their time at Chapman.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPresenting my poster at the Spring Symposium gave me the chance to showcase all the effort and research progress I made throughout the semester,\u201d said Yanelly Mego (Software Engineering \u201825), whose research into dance-centric wearable technologies was also displayed in the Leatherby Libraries. Additionally, Mego spent the summer of 2024 participating in Chapman University\u2019s <\/span>Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)<\/span><\/a>, using the time and resources to conduct her DanZens research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne aspect I greatly enjoy about participating in the symposium is the opportunity to talk about my project with peers from a wide range of majors and backgrounds. It\u2019s always interesting to hear their perspectives and questions, especially from those outside my field. Their insights helped me think about my work in new ways and appreciate the broader impact of my project,\u201d shared Mego.<\/span><\/p>\n

We extend our congratulations to all of the incredible Fowler School of Engineering students who showcased their undergraduate research during this Spring 2025 Student Scholar Symposium, boldly presenting their innovative work through oral and poster presentations throughout the week.<\/span><\/p>\n
