Introduction to Engineering Research
Introduction to Engineering Research (Crone, 2020) helps undergraduate and first year graduate students understand the context of engineering research and the ancillary skills needed to be a successful researcher. The book is used by individuals, research groups and courses, proving to be a valuable resource nationally for Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) summer programs and first year graduate students in engineering disciplines.
Available through university libraries and Springer.
Prof. Crone co-directs the Forward Fellows Program, a graduate school transition program at UW-Madison. The program provides students an opportunity to conduct research, acclimate to the university and campus, and build community with a group of graduate students from across multiple STEM disciplines.
Engineering Physics, BS
The B.S. in Engineering Physics degree program includes research experience and skill development in emerging technology areas, which prepares students for a range of opportunities from high-tech startups to advanced graduate degrees. This honors undergraduate degree program culminates in a research thesis achieved through a mentored research experience. Students from this major go on to pursue graduate degrees at the unprecedented rate of ~90% and subsequent leadership roles in industry, national labs, and government.
