Summer Research Experiences for Undergrads (REUs) across the Country For information about REU opportunities on campuses across the country, go to:http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.cfm Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program The naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) is a ten week summer research opportunity for undergraduate Juniors and Seniors, and Graduate students, under the guidance of a mentor, at a participating Navy laboratory (list of participating universities is available at http://www.asee.org/nreip). The stipend amounts for the program are $7500 for undergraduate students and $10,000 for graduate students. U.S. citizenship required; permanent residents accepted at certain labs. The online application is currently open at www.asee.org/nreip and must be completed by NREIP Team NanoJapan By involving and training students in cutting-edge research projects in Nanoscale science and engineering, this program aims to increase the numbers of US students who choose to pursue graduate study in this field while also cultivating a generation of globally competent engineers and scientists. Students should have a demonstrated interest in the field of nanotechnology as it relates to nanoscale semiconductor devices, nanophotonics, and carbon nanotubes. Students should also have a demonstrated interest in the study of Japanese language and/or culture, although no prior language experience is required. http://nanojapan.rice.edu Research in Germany UROP at RWTH Aachen University RWTH Aachen University, Germany, is one of Europe's leading universities of science and technology and distinguished by Germany's Excellence Initiative. The program UROP International is specifically designed for highly qualified US and Canadian undergraduates who are motivated to conduct their own independent research project at one of the RWTH institutes, being mentored by excellent scientific staff from our university, while spending a summer abroad. Please visit www.urop-germany.de for details. Internships in Engineering in Hannover and Clausthal Research and Training Opportunities at the National Institutes of Health Summer programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide an opportunity to spend a summer working side-by-side with some of the leading scientists in the world, in an environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research. The NIH consists of the new 240-bed Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center and more than 1200 laboratories located on the main campus in Bethesda, MD as well as in Baltimore and Frederick, MD; Research Triangle Park, NC; Phoenix, AZ; Hamilton, MT; and Detroit, MI. http://www.training.nih.gov/student/sip/info.asp University of Minnesota Research Opportunities in Mechanical Engineering The department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota is offering a ten week summer research program for undergraduates. Student research projects are available in a variety of research areas, including: medical device design air quality and pollution control engines and diesel research flow visualization and turbulence computational heat transfer MEMS and nanotechnology tissue engineering supply chain and operations research. Visit http://www.me.umn.edu/research/reu.shtml for details and application Summer Internship Opportunity A summer internship is available this summer for a qualified student to provide technical assistance to a long-term study of the reproductive biology and ecology of tree swallows nesting in Ithaca. We are looking for a hands-on student with an interest in wired and wireless networks, the development of sensor nodes, and/or database development in a networked sensor environment. Experience with any of these topics is strongly preferred, but the only definite requirements are the desire to learn and explore coupled with an interest in working with a thriving group of engineers and biologists. Cornell Center for Material Research SURF at Purdue University The SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows) program is an intensive summer research experience for undergraduate engineering, science, and technology students. Students team with a faculty member and a graduate student mentor conducting innovative research for 11 weeks. Stipend and housing provided.
