What is ORS

The Opportunity Research Scholars Program (ORS) provides an undergraduate research experience for student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) to help them reach their full potential.  This program takes a team-based approach and matches 3-4 undergraduates with a graduate mentor to work on a research project.  Students must commit to the team for two-consecutive semesters, attend academic enrichment workshops, engage in team-building activities and participate in a research poster competition at the end of the spring semester. 

ORS effectively promotes student retention and success in the electrical and computer engineering fields. As an enrichment program, ORS helps students to see beyond the rigors of the academic curriculum and understand the possible applications of the concepts they learn in the classroom. Combined with workshops, mentor leadership and peer support, the ORS Scholars are fully engaged in their department with ongoing research projects.
