well-defined research project with Institute faculty, <strong>and</strong> make scientific presentations at the end ofthe program.http://web.msm.edu/ni/summer.htmDeadline: March 31,2010Neural <strong>Engineering</strong>Summer interns work on Neural <strong>Engineering</strong> projects at the <strong>Biomedical</strong> <strong>and</strong> Mechanical<strong>Engineering</strong> Departments at Northwestern University <strong>and</strong> the Sensory Motor Per<strong>for</strong>mance Programat the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago <strong>for</strong> a period of 10 weeks. Junior or senior undergraduate,<strong>and</strong> junior graduate students are eligible to apply <strong>for</strong> the internships. $4000 Stipend <strong>for</strong> 10 weekshttp://www.northwestem.edu/bme/sine/Deadline: February 27,2009 (Not yet updated <strong>for</strong> 2010)Northeastern UniversityThe Bernard M. Gordon Center <strong>for</strong> Subsurface Sensing <strong>and</strong> Imaging Systems (Gordon-CenSSIS), provides the opportunity <strong>for</strong> science or engineering undergraduate students towork at CenSSIS laboratories on research projects related to the emerging technology ofsubsurface sensing <strong>and</strong> imaging systems. These REU students have the opportunity to workat CenSSIS testbed facilities in the areas of hyperspectral underwater imaging, medicalultrasound <strong>and</strong> optical imaging, 3D biological imaging, <strong>and</strong> imaging of underground objectsor environmental conditions by ground-penetrating radar or electromagnetic induction.http://www.censsis.neu.edu/Education/REU/index.htmlDeadline: February 27,2009 (Not yet updated <strong>for</strong> 2010)Northwestern UniversityActive h<strong>and</strong>s-on research infuses the traditional undergraduate curriculum with excitement.These experiences provide a glimpse into the life of a scientific researcher <strong>and</strong> opportunitiesto meet <strong>and</strong> work with world-renowned scientists. The center offers the <strong>Research</strong> Experience<strong>for</strong> Undergraduates (REU) program, under the leadership of Professor Mark Hersam, eachsummer. The REU program is held <strong>for</strong> a 9-week period over the summer. Participants engage infulltime research on a nanotechnology-related topic. Regular group meetings give studentsopportunities to share their progress along the way, <strong>and</strong> gain a broad overview of a widearray of scientific projects. Additional activities include special lectures, field trips, a publicspeaking seminar, technical writing workshops, summer picnic, <strong>and</strong> tours of facilities <strong>and</strong>laboratories.htt~://~~~.n~ec.northwestern.eddREU.htmDeadline: February 15Rehabilitation Institute <strong>Research</strong> CorporationThe Summer <strong>Internship</strong> in Neural <strong>Engineering</strong> (SINE) provides undergraduate students with anintense experience in cutting edge research in neural engineering. The goal of the program is toidentify, train, <strong>and</strong> nurture the development of future investigators who plan on using engineeringapplications to study neurologic disorders. We believe that early exposure to interdisciplinaryresearch will provide tomorrow's scientists with the skills they need to help end the devastation ofneurologic injury.
