In addition to the scholarships awarded every year, CET independently, and in conjunction with UVU, offers several opportunities for student recognition, professional development, and potential conference and symposia participation. Student projects while at UVU and students’ academic and scholarly activities in technology and engineering are valued the most and are recognized through these awards and grants.
The term “scholarly activities” is used broadly to include not just academic publications,
but also professional development, research projects, engaged learning opportunities,
and similar. It can also include competitions, contests, and record-breaking attempts.
Applications for student-driven activities, which may
also be supported by a faculty mentor/advisor, are also considered. Completed forms
must be submitted electronically to the CET Associate Dean of Student Affairs. When
multiple individuals are involved, the names, UV IDs, and departments of all individuals
should be included.
Requestors can be faculty, students, or staff. The CET funding request form can be found at https://uvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dao5RdTVbKLXZEa
The UVU campus has funding resources for students who work with faculty mentors to
conduct in-depth
research or creative work related to their chosen field of study. Funds are available
multiple times each year,
including for travel for conference participation and presentation. Furthermore, there
are several other
opportunities for students who wish to pursue their own research if they have a faculty
mentor working with
them.
