About us
Participants will be assigned to a research group based on evidence within their application such as the personal statement and the coursework that has been recently completed. To help narrow that focus, we ask applicants to pick two of the following three Young Scholar programs that seem most interesting to them when applying.
-POETS Young Scholars work with researchers in the Center for Power Optimization and Electrothermal Systems. This center focuses on building better batteries or power distribution processes, gaining greater efficiency in large vehicles. This work is at the intersection of electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science.
-SpHERES Young Scholars work with researchers affiliated with the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine, a premier institution where bioengineers work hand-in-hand with medical providers. The Sparking High Schoolers' Excitement for Research in Engineering and Science program focuses on medicine, bioengineering, and neuroscience.
-Grainger Engineering Young Scholars (GEnYuS) work in department-specific research groups that might include computer science, mechanical engineering, nuclear or quantum physics, aerospace engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, civil engineering, and more.
