Undergraduate Research
At Mercer, our students often begin conducting research their first year on campus. It starts in the lab, but it doesn't stop there. Our research is moved by a desire to help and an impulse to act, which is why the results are far more than feats of engineering—they are deeply felt all over the globe.
Make an Impact with Mercer On Mission
From designing a mercury capture system in Peru to fitting amputees in Vietnam with low-cost prosthetics, Mercer On Mission blends study abroad and service-learning to transform the lives of engineering students and the people they serve around the globe.
Empower Connection through 3D Yearbooks
Since 2018, engineering professors and students have created and presented more than 77 3D yearbooks to seniors at the Georgia Academy for the Blind. These yearbooks are the first of their kind and consist of a board with plastic 3D printings of the students’ faces. When students touch the braille nameplates, they’re able to recognize each other.
Expand Mobility with Adaptive Toys
Mercer Engineering is a proud partner of GoBabyGo, a national outreach program that helps provide children with disabilities the opportunity for movement, mobility, and socialization. Through the program, students in the School of Engineering have modified more than 150 battery-powered toy cars to support children and families in the local community.
Moved to Solve Problems
Mercer is one of the state’s leaders with a total of 15 engineering students selected as Goldwater Scholars over the last 9 years. The Goldwater Scholarship is the nation’s most prestigious scholarship for undergraduate students in sciences, mathematics, and engineering.
