Each year 300 or more undergraduates from universities throughout the Midwest attend the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory for their Annual Argonne Symposium for Undergraduates in Science, Engineering and Mathematics. Many of the students present their research papers and publications to an audience of their peers, Argonne scientists, graduate students and university faculty. An average of 15 students from this department attend the event annually and four to six of these students present their own research.
