About us
The Mechanical Engineering Department at Colorado State University is offering an opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in addressing this grand societal challenge during the summer term. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation, and provides students a chance to participate in cutting-edge, mentored research; explore STEM-related career paths; and participate in professional development opportunities. Students will be provided with student housing, a travel allowance and a $6000 stipend.
You Will:
-Work on a project in a faculty advisor's research group
-Hone a specific research skill and learn how it makes a difference in a complex situation
-Join a cohort of 10 students working on interrelated projects
-Practice professional skills like elevator speeches and formal presentations
-Hear from experts about professional pathways, including graduate school and entrepreneurship
-Receive a stipend and housing to support your participation.
We welcome rising college juniors and seniors (and community college students who have completed 45 semester hours) with interests in STEM and societal impact, who are seeking exposure to and experience in research. We would especially like to attract students who may not have considered research as a career, but who are curious and motivated to improve people's lives and surroundings.
