<p>I think the research opportunities are amazing at Mudd. My son (junior-Engineering) has been working all year with a professor, mainly because he took a computer imaging class last year (one of four students in the class). He went to Seattle to do a poster presentation at a conference in February, and will be spending the summer in Sidney Australia as part of the team. He is also presenting the work on Presentation Day (early May). This is a NSF grant project. My impression is that the professors are very engaged in research, know how to get the funding, and heavily involve students.</p>
