Are you interested in undergraduate research or thinking about graduate study in engineering? The National Science Foundation provides opportunities for students to contribute to ongoing research projects through Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs). REU participants generally receive a stipend, travel reinbursement, room and board, and worthwhile preparation for graduate school or industry.
REUs take place in universities and other research sites all over the world. The NSF lists all or these opportunities online. Opportunities for summer 2013 will be posted as they become available.
2013 Undergraduate Summer Research Grant (USRG) Program
Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M University
Deadline: Monday, February 11, 2013
During this summer research experience, participants work closely with faculty members on current or individual research projects, attend development and GRE workshops, make a formal poster presentation of their research experience, and submit a final written report describing the results of their research.
Each participant will receive a $5,000 scholarship for support during the ten weeks. The program will also pay tuition and fees for one credit hour of a required independent study/research; provide housing; and pay up to $400 for travel expenses for non-TAMU participants.
