[United States] Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research - University Of California
The goal of the Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkeley (SUPERB) is to provide research opportunities in engineering to students who have been historically underrepresented in the field for reasons of social, cultural, educational or economic barriers. The program provides students with the opportunity to gain research experience by participating in research projects with engineering faculty and graduate students. Upon completion of this program students will be better prepared and motivated to attend graduate school.
SUPERB offers summer undergraduate research in the departments of:
- Bioengineering
- Civil & Environmental Engineering
- Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences
- Mechanical Engineering
- Material Science & Engineering
- Nuclear Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
SUPERB features regular workshops and seminars on the nature of academic life, standardized test preparation, writing and research skills and graduate school applications. Informal meetings and social events with faculty and graduate students are also offered.
- Dates: June 10 - August 3, 2007
- Challenging 8-week research experience in engineering for juniors and seniors
- $3,750 stipend, housing, meals and $600 travel allowance provided
- Strong mentoring by graduate students and faculty
- Opportunity to learn about research and graduate school
The deadline for Summer 2007 is January 31, 2007, by 5pm PST. Notification of acceptance will begin in mid-April.
Please note: this application and information applies to students interested in research in Bioengineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science & Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Chemical Engineering.
