2007 REU Program Details

Activities

To help our REU interns develop a sense of excitement of technology and engineering, understand the process of conducting research, and become prepared for graduate schools and future careers, we devise a variety of educational, research training, and professional activities that involve close interactions with our faculty, graduate students, and industrial partners. Extracurricular activities are also arranged to foster better communication and interaction among the REU participants.
