| Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) |
| |
| 
Carnegie Mellon University is hosting a
ten-week summer research program for undergraduate
students in diverse materials research areas.
The students will work with Carnegie Mellon
faculty, will receive an stipend of $3800,
on-campus housing and additional funds for
travel. In addition, students will learn
about ethical research techniques and be
exposed to a broad range of career development
opportunities. The goal of the REU program
is to provide the participants an interactive,
encouraging and multi-level research experience
that can be drawn upon when making decisions
about advanced education. |
Program Highlights |
• Eligibility: all engineering,
physics and chemistry majors are encouraged
to apply. |
• Selection: Selections are primarily
based on academic standing and faculty recommendations.
Students from underrepresented groups and institutions
are strongly encouraged to apply. |
• Stipend: Each student will receive
an stipend of $3800, on-campus housing and
additional funds for travel. |
• Research Projects: Student will
have the opportunity to select from a broad
range of projects involving chemistry, physics
and engineering of materials. A list of available
projects can be found in projects. |
• Weekly seminars: Students will
be exposed to frontiers of materials research
as well as professional development topics
such as good research practices and ethics,
the preparation of oral research presentations,
research posters, and resumes. Also, guest
lecturers from industry and government laboratories
will supplement academic seminars to expose
students to industrial research and professional
experiences. |
• Student presentations: After
five weeks, a symposium will be held where
the students will present brief oral reports
on their project goals, progress to date, and
plans for the second half of the summer. At
the end of the summer, students will present
their work as brief oral presentations at a
final symposium. |
