Electronic Submission Deadline April 18th

(Abstract required)


The Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Symposium (ISE) at UNH is a premier event showcasing innovative undergraduate research. Students tackle real-world challenges, honing skills in problem-solving, project management, and teamwork under the guidance of expert faculty mentors. This experience not only celebrates their academic achievements but also equips them to launch new projects and initiatives as they embark on successful careers.

The ISE Symposium will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd in the Whittemore Center Arena. The program will feature over 400 students presenting their research to judges, faculty, attendees, and peers through posters and demonstrations from a multitude of disciplines, many interdisciplinary, including earth, environmental, biological, computer and physical sciences, bioengineering; chemical, civil, environmental, ocean, mechanical, electrical and computer engineering, mathematics and statistics, physics, and chemistry.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the impressive scholarly achievements of our extraordinary students.

Erin Santini Bell, Ph.D., P.E.

Interim Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences

University of New Hampshire
