ACEP Spring Student Researcher Opportunity
Several student research positions are open for hiring this spring by ACEPs Dave Denkenberger.
Students will receive firsthand experience in making a heat exchanger with a 3D printer and laser welder, improving the disaster resiliency of engineering systems, and lowering the cost of natural gas transportation to Fairbanks.
Not to mention you can be published in a peer-reviewed article even as an undergraduate!
Dr. Denkenbergers heat exchanger project is a great research opportunity for someone looking to tackle a hands-on engineering challenge, according to one student who participated. I have gained experience doing data collection, data analysis, design for 3D printing, heat exchanger design theory and even technical writing for publishing. It was really interesting to do research in a relatively new and exciting topic area, microchannel and polymer heat exchangers, and really be a part of the hands-on engineering problem-solving process. - Josiah Alverts
The paid positions will start in the spring. If it is a good fit, there is a possibility that the work could continue into the summer.
Please contact Denkenberger at ddenkenberger@alaska.eduif you have questions or wish to apply.
