SCCUR provides a forum for undergrad research, scholarship and creative activities and promotes innovative achievements across disciplines. Students present their work either in poster sessions or as 15-minute talks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe conference is a great venue for students to present the results of their research off-campus in a friendly atmosphere. The audiences are small and supportive, and it offers a nice intermediate between the on-campus presentations that our students frequently make and large professional conferences where most presenters are professors, post-docs and graduate students,\u201d said biology Professor Steve Adolph, who is coordinating the conference trip. \u201cStudents also enjoy the opportunity to learn about the diverse research projects conducted by undergraduates from other Southern California colleges and universities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harvey Mudd students will present on a variety of topics from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering.<\/p>\n
Engineering majors Cody Crosby \u201915 and Aarthi Sridhar \u201915 will present findings from their work exploring the development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Unlike traditional alloys, HEAs have five or more metallic elements in roughly equal proportions. Such alloys have the potential for making lighter, stronger metals that can endure high-temperature and corrosive environments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are focused on promoting solid solution formation in multicomponent metallic alloys to produce improved mechanical properties, including tensile strength and hardness,\u201d said Crosby. \u201cWe applied to this conference, because we wanted to improve our presenting skills and gain high-level academic experience, while exposing a broader audience to the potential of high-entropy alloys.”<\/p>\n
