Students were awarded a $1,000 scholarship and certificate of recognition during a ceremony in September.

Lee's contributions to Miami include working with faculty mentor Kumar Singh, associate professor of mechanical and manufacturing engineering, on vibration research and being involved in the development of a Computational-Experiment (ComEx) learning module.
