Students will be exposed to fundamental engineering and scientific research that enhances sustainable product and process design. Students work with our professors and graduate students involved in multidisciplinary research in the fields of chemical and environmental engineering, materials science and engineering, optical science, mining and geological engineering, and biosystems engineering.  In particular, our REU students will explore innovative pathways to accommodate sustainable development while preserving environmental values.

As well as their research experience, students participate in seminars on preparation of research papers, research posters and oral presentations, preparing for graduate school.  We also tour electrical generation facilities, manufacturing facilities and waste treatment, disposal and recycling facilities. Students prepare a final research report and deliver a presentation on their research project. Students also have opportunities for social recreational and entertainment activities with graduate students and undergraduates in our and other REU programs.

Previous REU student's Comments:

"This program provides so many opportunities to work with equipment and do your own research, not just collect data for other people's projects."

"This program proved to me that graduate school is the right decision for me"

"I gained research experience along with the life experience of being 2,500 miles from home."

"I gained an enormous amount of knowledge about the semiconductor industry."

"This experience will clear up the decisions of students who are considering research as a career."

"I benefited greatly from the close knit research group that I became a part of. They accepted me and helped solve problems early on. They made the experience more fun and rewarding."

"This summer has given me a good introduction into what the semiconductor industry is all about and made me more interested in getting a job in that field."
