Research Opportunities

The Sibley School’s world-class faculty have on-going research projects focused on today’s most exciting and important engineering challenges. Student involvement is an essential part of any research lab. You should speak with faculty members directly about research possibilities.

Project Teams

  • Explore Projects

    If you are considering joining a team, this is a great place to begin exploring projects that may be of interest to you. In addition to hands-on learning, participation in one of Cornell’s high-performance student project teams also offers the opportunity to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment, to develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills, and in many cases, to meet and compete with teams across the country and around the world.

Internship Opportunities

One of the best ways to get experience – and a paycheck – is the Engineering Cooperative Education program. Co-op students spend about seven months working at a company job site but still graduate in four years. Other opportunities are available through internships and externships.
