STEM Research Team Project is a program for female graduate students to act as a research leader and manage a team with middle/high school and college/university students to conduct research projects for several months. This program aims to strengthen the research competence and leadership skills of excellent female undergraduate and graduate students by leading R&D projects. It also allows middle and high school students to plan and develop their career paths by participating in the program as team members. The experience of leading engineering research will be a valuable steppingstone for students to continuously grow as researchers.
