A lot, according to the 37 students who have been mentored by Dr. Woo Hyoung Lee. Many of Dr. Lee\u2019s research students will become practicing engineers, as well as those who continue on in academia. He believes that research is essential for them \u201c1) to improve intellectual merit and 2) disseminate findings to societies for broader impact by connecting the research with the real-world solutions for environmental problems.\u201d In turn, he draws on his own practical experience as a registered Professional Engineer (PE) to inform his teaching and mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9722\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0618-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption><em>Microalgal hydrogen production in Dr Lee&#8217;s lab<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Lee\u2019s students research a crucial topic with major real-world implications: the smart treatment and management of water and wastewater. This research has received 32 funding awards from the USDA, the Department of Energy, NASA, and many other funding bodies. Currently, undergraduate and graduate students in his lab have been developing we have been developing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/epa-awards-75000-funding-university-central-florida-solve-environmental-and-public\">biopolymer-based simple lead check<\/a> which can detect traces of lead (Pb) in tap water, on site.  This work is supported by U.S. EPA (7\/1\/2020 &#8211; 6\/30\/2023).

Dr. Lee\u2019s undergraduate researchers have been listed as authors on seven papers in leading journals (including two which made the cover of <em>Analytical Chemistry<\/em> and <em>Micromachines<\/em>) and given many conference presentations. They have also received multiple design awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s P3 \u201cPeople, Prosperity, and the Planet\u201d competition. The team additionally received a sustainable energy award at the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington DC, the nation\u2019s largest science festival. His students have reflected that &#8220;It is an incredible feeling knowing that people see a lot of value in our research and know<br>that this is something that can help people and the environment.&#8221;  New students were amazed at how far their projects had come and how, through research, they were able to contribute to real-world solutions: &#8220;It was my first ever project in this research group and I loved it, I wanted to support innovative answers to real-world problems.\u201d Another noted, &#8220;The team and the project itself truly reflect the spirit of the University, with people from many different backgrounds and majors coming together to create a novel, interdisciplinary answer to a major problem. I still can\u2019t believe how far the team has come since the Phase I proposal, and I can\u2019t wait to see where we can go in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9723\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/IMG_0638-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption><em>One of Dr Lee&#8217;s current undergraduate students (and Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow) Jennifer Hughes at work with the micropipette <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Lee is not someone who is content to rest on his laurels as a mentor, though! He is always learning, participating in FCTL workshops and Summer Faculty Development Conference, and National Center for Faculty Development &amp; Diversity Bootcamp to improve his skills as a mentor and instructor. Similarly, he helps his students take advantage of the great resources available at UCF: his students have participated in the Research and Mentoring (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/services\/s\/research-and-mentoring-program-ramp\/\">RAMP<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/excel.ucf.edu\/\">EXCEL<\/a>-COMPASS programs, held <a href=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/summer-undergraduate-research-fellowship\/\">Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships,<\/a> and won monetary awards&nbsp;at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) East Central Branch Environmental &amp; Water Resources Institute and American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) Undergraduate Research fellowship. They also received the Burnett Research Scholars Grant, ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry Undergraduate Award, and Judge\u2019s Choice winner at the Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence (SURE). &nbsp;Dr. Lee reflects, &#8220;I always like to encourage each of my students to expand their knowledge boundaries when pursuing their goals in engineering in order to prepare them for their future careers.&#8221; So next time you enjoy clean water, remember: the engineers who helped provide it may have been trained via undergraduate research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Lee&#8217;s Tips for Undergraduate Researchers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UCF provides excellent interdisciplinary research opportunities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/civil-engineering-ms\/smart-cities\/\">Smart Cities<\/a> as well as many undergraduate scholarships. I suggest studying faculty research areas at UCF, starting from your department and faculty website, and finding out the research topic you would like to be involved in. Then, reach out to them by email with scientific questions and your motivations. We, as principal investigators, are always looking for highly motivated students like you for projects supported by diverse funding agencies such as federal agencies and national research laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr Lee&#8217;s Tips for Mentors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reach out to students in the classrooms and engage them with recent research trends and advances in science and technology development to show how the fundamentals that they learn in classrooms can be used and applied to the real world. Do not limit the outreach to department courses. Participating as guest lecturers in other departments such as the chemistry department can often provide communication with students who have a strong background in chemistry. Collaboration with other disciplines is one of the keys to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3013,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[62,69,89,88,79,74],"class_list":["post-9717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-blog","tag-engineering","tag-faculty-mentors","tag-interdisciplinary-research","tag-materials-science","tag-research-mentor","tag-summer-undergraduate-research-fellowship"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
