14th Annual Brace Research Day

You are invited to join us for the 14th Annual Brace Research Day. Held on World Water Day, this year's theme will look at "Water and Jobs."  Come and learn about the research being carried out by students and faculty in Bioresource Engineering, Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, and Chemical Engineering.
