Research Experience for Undergraduates 2024
The Aero/Astro Research Experience for Undergraduates (Aero/Astro REU) program is designed to give undergraduates the chance to work with faculty and their research groups on advanced research projects over the summer. Students who are accepted into the program will receive a stipend for their full time research work.
Full-time means devoting 35+ hours/week for 10 consecutive weeks, i.e., it is the student's primary activity that quarter. Program start date will be June 24 2024 program end date will be August 30 2024 with the REU poster session being on the final week.
