University of Massachusetts, College of <strong>Engineering</strong>Summer <strong>Research</strong> Experience <strong>for</strong> Undergraduates (REU)Each summer the College of <strong>Engineering</strong> sponsors a <strong>Research</strong> Experience <strong>for</strong> Undergraduates (REU)program. This is a great way to find out if graduate study is right <strong>for</strong> you <strong>and</strong> an opportunity to learnmore about the broad range of interdisciplinary research being conducted in the College.http://www.engineering.umass.edu/reuDeadline: February 15, 2012University of Massachusetts, The Institute <strong>for</strong> Cellular <strong>Engineering</strong> (ICE)The Institute <strong>for</strong> Cellular <strong>Engineering</strong> (ICE) hosts a <strong>Research</strong> Experience <strong>for</strong> Undergraduates <strong>for</strong> U.S.citizens or permanent residents interested in pursuing graduate studies in bioengineering or biologicalsciences. Cellular engineering is a new frontier of applied biology. Underst<strong>and</strong>ing cellular function <strong>and</strong>manipulating cells/tissues to per<strong>for</strong>m in a particular manner is the basis <strong>for</strong> many ventures in thebiomedical, biotechnology <strong>and</strong> pharmaceutical industries, including drug production from cell culture,generation of artificial organs <strong>for</strong> replacement of diseased tissues, <strong>and</strong> design of bioremediationprocesses <strong>for</strong> waste water clean-up. Our faculty <strong>and</strong> research are at the <strong>for</strong>efront of cellular engineeringinnovation, per<strong>for</strong>ming cutting-edge work in biosensor development, cell <strong>and</strong> drug delivery, metabolicengineering <strong>and</strong> protein engineering.http://www.umass.edu/ice/reu/index.htmlDeadline: February 15, 2012University of South Carolina, NSF-REU ProgramIn 2011 (May 22 July 30) USC will host a 10-week research program in biomolecular <strong>and</strong> biomechanicalinteractions. The NSF-REU program will provide experience in experimental <strong>and</strong> computational studiesat the protein, cellular <strong>and</strong> tissue levels.

This program builds uponexisting sensor-related projects to develop a concerted thrust in the area of sensor integrationwith VLSI circuitry, a growing research strength at Wayne State University. Active programsin wide-b<strong>and</strong>gap semiconductor materials, graded pyroelectrics, photonic systems, thin-filmmagnetic devices, organic film devices, <strong>and</strong> integrated (intelligent) technology will <strong>for</strong>m thecore research here at SSIM.http://www.ssim.eng.wayne.edu/education/ssim_reu_program.aspDeadline: Visit website <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation.Whitaker International Fellows <strong>and</strong> Scholars Program
