Hi all!
Everyone at the Milwaukee School of Engineering's (MSOE) fluid power lab is really friendly. They are all willing to help out and talk about their projects. I was surprised how many undergraduates are involved in research, especially since MSOE is not that large. In the fluid power lab at MSOE there are at least 10 other MSOE students working on various projects, and there is another REU program (focused on rapid prototyping) also based at MSOE.
I also didn't realize how much of research originated directly from a corporation's request. The project I am working on began (before my REU program) because a hydraulics company requested that the lab investigate some characteristics of their filters, and another test stand in the lab also works on a company's request. I never really thought about how research topics were decided before, but I now know!
I hope you all are having fun working on your projects!
