Carnegie Mellon University REU @ Carnegie Mellon University

The 2010 Carnegie Mellon University REU Program will be held May 24 to July 30, 2010.  This ten-week summer research program is geared to expose science and engineering undergraduates to cutting edge materials research each year. The student research projects are highly interdisciplinary, spanning seven departments and two colleges at Carnegie Mellon. The REU students interact with faculty, graduate and undergraduate students from a wide variety of disciplines. In addition, students will learn about ethical research techniques and be exposed to a broad range of career development opportunities. Through weekly seminars, students will also be exposed to exciting materials research areas outside their research topic. 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.

Open to undergraduates who are US Citizens or permanent residents. Students must not graduate before Fall 2010. Selection will be based on academic standing and faculty recommendations. Minority and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. All chemistry, physics and engineering majors are welcome to apply. Each visiting student will receive a stipend, on-campus housing (no meals) and additional funds for travel (travel and housing is provided for non-CMU students only).

Application Deadline: Complete application packets (transcript, application, letters of recommendation) will be considered as they arrive.  Applications must be postmarked by February 15, 2010.
