Undergraduate
Opportunities at Texas A&M University
TAMU Undergraduate Research Fellows The TAMU Undergraduate Research Fellows program is offered though the Honors Office. This program is designed for students entering their senior year that would like to do a research project that will ultimately culminate in a Senior Honors Thesis. This is a year long program. Applications are taken in the Spring and you begin your research in the Fall. Students completing this program are given special recognition at graduation and special designations are added to your transcripts. If you are interested in this program, talk to any of the TAMU faculty involved with TiiMS to get an idea of what projects are available for you to work on. Once you have identified who you want to work for, you must write a proposal as part of the application process. See the link above for complete details. Another opportunity available to you is offered through the Dwight Look College of Engineering and the Engineering Academic Programs Office at Texas A&M Univeristy called the Undergraduate Summer Research Program (USRP). Applications may be downloaded here. The completed application may be faxed to 979-847-8654, emailed to t-wright@tamu.edu or mailed to the address: Engineering Academic Programs Office NASA Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars Program (LARSS) LARSS was established in 1986 for the benefit of undergraduate juniors and seniors and first-year graduate students who are pursuing degrees in aerospace engineering or selected aerospace-related disciplines of interest to LaRC. There are two primary elements of LARSS: a research project to be completed by each participant under the supervision of a researcher who will assume the role of a mentor for the summer and attendance at technical lectures by prominent engineers and scientists. For the 10 week program, the pay is $4,500 for undergraduate students and $5,000 for graduate students. Please look at this brief presentation by Leslie Weitz regarding her experience in the 2004 LARSS Program. Nanotechnology and Materials Systems TiiMS and Texas A&M University was recently awarded a three year grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide opportunities for outstanding rising juniors and seniors in engineering, physics, chemisty, or biology to conduct research in the area of Nanotechnologies and Materials Systems. This NSF REU site will host approximately 13 undergraduate students and provide an exiciting and challenging summer research experience. These students will be mentored by faculty and researchers who are very active in the fields of nanotechnology and nanoscience. Each REU student will also be assigned a graduate student mentor to encourage and assist in their research efforts. The summer research session will span from early June to August and will also include seminars, laboratory tours, and field trips to regional government research facilities and high-tech industry collaborators. Participants will receive a stipend of $3,500 plus an allowance for room and board during the 10 week summer session. Currently, we are utilizing the TAMU USRG application process for the initial round of REU applicants. To apply, students should complete the TAMU USRG application including letters of recommendation and transcripts. Make sure that you indicate under research areas of interest that you are applying for "REU Site - Nanotechnology and Materials Systems". Applications may be downloaded here. The completed application may be faxed to 979-847-8654, emailed to t-wright@tamu.edu or mailed to the address: Engineering Academic Programs Office NOTE: All questions regarding the Nanotechnology and Materials Systems REU should be directed to Dr. Daniel Davis at 979-845-8512. |
