Research

At Wheaton, students are busy working with drones, 3D printers, laser cutters, motion-capture and eye-tracking toys; a programmable loom; searching strings of DNA or Anglo-Saxon text in Python; playing system admin on their own server; hiding surfaces in OpenGL; and building web apps for clients.

Wheaton’s 12 to 1 student-faculty ratio, on-campus help finding intern experiences, and Wheaton’s curriculum highlighting connections among the traditional disciplines provide unique opportunities for undergraduates to do research in computing.
