The REU program is sponsored by National Science Foundation, entitled "Transformational Technologies for Next Generation Aerospace Systems (TT-AS)." Its goal is to provide undergraduate students in mechanical engineering and related fields an opportunity to participate in ongoing active research programs including high-speed aerodynamics, development of multi-modal robots, active flow control, sensors and actuators, smart materials, tribology, hypersonic flows, etc.. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage students in cross-cutting technologies by inspiring the integration and synthesis of original ideas and facilitating a better understanding of engineering research and development at the system level. Working closely with faculty and graduate students, the participants will gain hands-on experience and higher-level learning skills through other educational and professional development activities. The program is designed for students who have completed their sophomore/junior years in engineering or related fields. Women, underrepresented minorities, and students from colleges and universities without significant research opportunities are encouraged to apply. Applicants are expected to have a GPA of 2.9 or higher and must be citizens of the US. Applications are due March 7, 2025. Prospective students should download and complete the REU Application OR submit the online application as outlined.
