Description
The Robert W. Young Award for Undergraduate Student Research in Acoustics, offered by the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), is intended to foster early engagement in acoustics by supporting undergraduate-led research projects. Established in honor of former ASA president and Fellow Robert W. Young, the award is designed to empower students to pursue independent or collaborative research in any area of acoustics. The goal is to inspire undergraduates to explore acoustics in depth, develop research skills, and contribute new knowledge to the discipline. Projects may be proposed by individuals or teams, with a designated student leader and faculty advisor endorsement.
