Discovery Learning Apprenticeship (DLA) Program
Whether helping develop new diagnostic techniques for heart disease or detecting the effects of nuclear waste, discovery learning apprentices make the most of their time at CU Boulder by supplementing classroom instruction with real-world engineering research experience.
Undergraduate engineering students in the program earn hourly wages (currently $16/hour) while engaging in research with faculty and graduate students. You’ll work alongside graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty as collaborative partners on original research. We find that students bring a fresh perspective to the research team while also learning from their more experienced partners.

"This is what a researcher looks like"
Undergraduate students participating in research – no matter the venue – can submit details about themselves to be featured on the college's undegraduate research experience page. Questions and comments can be sent to by email.
