<p>GAINESVILLE, Fla. A handful of engineering students will soon have the chance to get a fresh and different perspective on their research not from a new textbook or different experiment but from working in another country.</p>
<p>Two materials science and engineering faculty members have won a competitive National Science Foundation award to pay for undergraduate and graduate students to conduct research at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. </p>
<p>The project, titled U.S.-Swiss International Research Experience for Students: Science and Engineering of Piezoelectric Materials, will begin in May, when materials science and engineering student Abhijit Pramanick heads to Switzerland for research on his doctoral dissertation. </p>
