Civil and Environmental Engineering and Science students can apply science and engineering to real-world environmental challenges. Through research in the Kahler Lab, you'll investigate water quality, environmental contamination and the connections between polluted waterways and human health. Research in South Africa's Luvuvhu River Catchment examined nutrients, oxygen levels and toxic elements like arsenic, lead and mercury to understand how agriculture, sewage and industrial activity affect water quality.

Your work can help inform pollution management, environmental monitoring and water-resource protection strategies that make a difference for communities and ecosystems.

Forensic Science and Law student Bailey Conrad gained hands-on experience during an internship with the Beaver County Detective’s Bureau. From investigation techniques and courtroom exposure to SWAT operations, Bailey saw law enforcement from a new perspective.

“This was an incredible opportunity to see law enforcement from a different perspective and gain valuable experience that I will take into my future,” she said.

Over the summer, Forensic Science and Law students Evelyn Rudich, Kiley Roman and Leah Burggraf gained hands-on experience through internships with the Allegheny County Office of the Medical Examiner.

For Evelyn, the experience included working alongside an analyst to improve a testing method and observing multiple forensic science disciplines. “It was an amazing experience that strengthened my passion for forensic science and confirmed that I am on the right career path.”

Kiley gained experience in forensic biology while learning from experienced professionals. “Working with ACOME allowed me to gain hands-on experience in forensic biology and see firsthand how the work we do in the laboratory contributes to serving the community.”

For Leah, the internship provided a perfect blend of hands-on learning and real forensic experience. “It helped me feel confident in the path I’m building and made it clear which areas of forensics I’m excited to pursue.”

Through experiences like these, our students are building technical skills, professional connections and confidence as they prepare for careers in forensic science.

“This summer I interned with the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE) in their Toxicology division. Throughout the four-week program, we performed common drug screening methods (ELISA and QTOF) as well as extraction (Liquid-Liquid, SPE) and confirmatory testing (LC-MS, GC-MS, GC-FID, LC-QQQ-MS) procedures. We were also given incredible opportunities to tour fully operational chemistry, biology, and toxicology labs during our program. This opportunity has allowed me to gain so many valuable connections within the forensic science community as well as a clearer vision on what future career paths are available.” -Caitlyn Patton, 5th Year FSL Student, Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE)

Biological Sciences students have the opportunity to explore the connections between neuroscience, inflammation and human health through hands-on research in the Po***ck Lab.

Students are investigating how male and female nervous systems respond differently to peripheral neuropathic pain. Using techniques such as RNA sequencing and experimental models, researchers in the lab are exploring how similar pain responses can arise from different molecular pathways — and what that could mean for developing more effective treatments.

Through faculty mentorship and research experiences like these, you’ll build the skills to explore complex questions and contribute to discoveries in neuroscience and translational medicine.
