Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Symposium (ISE)

ISE celebrates the scholarly achievements and research of hundreds of undergraduates. Each year, students present their research through posters, demonstrations, and oral presentations (and have an opportunity to interact with their peers and gain professional experience presenting their research). Presentations represent a multitude of disciplines, many interdisciplinary, including earth, environmental, biological, computer and physical sciences, civil, mechanical, electrical and computer engineering, mathematics and statistics, physics, and chemistry. We hope you enjoy exploring the projects showcasing the hard work of our students.

Many CEPS departments have plotters that can print posters for students or will pay to have these done either at ESRC Poster Printing Services located in Morse Hall, Room 253 or UNH Printing Services located at the West Edge Copy Center. Prices for printing at these two locations can be found at on the URC Poster Printing Information and Pricing webpage. If you would like to use the media gallery for printing, the deadline is April 12 (to be confirmed).
