Students in Electrical and Computer Engineering have opportunities to carry out experiments and industrial projects in several large equipped laboratories. In many cases the equipment in those laboratories has evolved from research projects organized by professors and graduate students, and some undergraduates.
For the past fifteen summers, a limited number of special grants to college juniors have been offered so that they could gain experience in advanced research. This program has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and many other government agencies and local industrial companies. The participants have done work in the areas of acoustics, optics, telecommunications, communication electronics, feedback control, machinery and power electronics, plasma physics, gaseous electronics, gas lasers, microwave engineering, semiconductor devices, magnetism, digital signal and image processing, image analysis and understanding, computer engineering, and wireless communications. They receive weekly stipends ( for 2000) over an eleven-week period and register for a senior project course with no tuition charge. The program has been very successful and its continuation in the future is planned. For additional information see Summer Research Internships.
