Summer Opportunities in Engineering Research & Leadership

Catalog description

Summer First provides Fellows from a range of engineering disciplines the opportunity to gain exposure to the wealth of resources on campus, and explore the research environment(s) in their own doctoral programs. This experience effectively serves as a supplementary research rotation for these graduate students, enabling them to explore research options over an additional quarter. Fellows also engage in small literature discussion groups, professional development workshops, excursions, mentoring opportunities, and social activities as a mechanism for fostering a sense of belonging and community. Fellows are incoming first year PhD students nominated by their departments. Instructor permission required.
