DPE Summer Research
". . these young scientists and engineers teach us something beyond the specific topics that they’re exploring. They teach us how to question assumptions; to wonder why something is the way it is, and how we can make it better. And they remind us that there’s always something more to learn, and to try, and to discover, and to imagine -- and that it’s never too early, or too late to create or discover something new."
- President Barack Obama
Use your creativity and classroom knowledge as guides through the process of discovery. Undergraduate research gives you the opportunity to learn by being directly involved in it. Explore your interests and discover passions while improving collaboration, technical, and communication skills. Seize the chance through summer research to gain insight about your career and graduate school plans.
DPE offers undergraduate research opportunities for engineers as well as for those in STEM fields. Learn more about our summer Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Research Experience for Undergraduates (LSAMP REU) which is open to students from Cornell and other universities.
We also have a unique summer program, the Engineering Summer Math Institute (ESMI), that offers select Cornell Engineers, who are enrolled in a summer session math course, a research opportunity.
