The 2019 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program featured thirty-one students throughout the network of NHERI facilities.
Near the conclusion of the ten-week summer program, each student traveled to Oregon State University to present a research poster and give a presentation on their experience. The posters and details of each project can be found below. Students were encouraged to publish their research presentations and papers to the DesignSafe Depot.
