Translational Ecology for Undergraduates Program
Gain knowledge, skills and appreciation for ecology!
Title: Translational Ecology for Undergraduates
Since 2011 the Cary REU program has embraced a new focus – Translational Ecology. We hope to train a new generation of environmental scientists who are both prepared and motivated to translate ecological science to the public.
Working closely with a mentor scientist, students delineate a research question and hypotheses, develop and implement a project, analyze data, give an oral presentation in a formal symposium and write a paper. Skill building workshops support student learning. The bulk of students’ time is spent in this facet of the program.
Students participate in a Scientific Writing Workshop, a Statistics/R Workshop, Responsible Conduct of Research trainings, and sessions in asking good questions, applying theory in research, giving effective talks, and future options in work and study. The Forum on Translational Ecology showcases examples of translational ecology in action, as well as a diversity of professional role models and careers. Students are supported in reflecting on themselves as scientists and translators of science.
The program runs from May 22 - August 11, 2017
The deadline is FEBRUARY 3, 2017
Benefits include:
- A stipend of $6,300
- Housing in the Bacon Flats dormitory located on our campus just next door to the research and administration building
- A food allowance of $900 for the 12 week program.
Students studying these fields are encouraged to apply (other majors are also considered; see the program's website to find out if this is right for you):
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- Biological Sciences

Human Engineering Research Experience
Rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology programs
Program 1: American Student Placements in Rehabilitation Engineering (ASPIRE)
ASPIRE focuses its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program on research in the rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology fields. Rehabilitation engineering employs a systematic approach to the design, modification, customization and/or fabrication of assistive technology for persons with disabilities. Research efforts in rehabilitation engineering are focused on identifying and addressing problems critical to achieving and maintaining the highest possible level of function in areas related to mobility, communications, sensory (e.g., hearing, tactile, vision), and cognition and in activities associated with employment, independent living, and education. The primary objective of the ASPIRE REU program is to provide an exemplary mentoring and resourceful environment that enables undergraduate students to 1) transition from dependent to independent thinkers, 2) develop a sense of excitement about entering an engineering or technical field 3) and be well prepared for their future careers.
Program 2: Quality of Life Technology Research Experience for Undergraduates (QoLT REU)
The mission of Quality of Life Technology research is to transform lives of people with reduced functional capabilities due to aging or disability through intelligent devices and systems. The program is a unique partnership between Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Pittsburgh, integrating CMU’s strength in the design, implementation, and technology transfer of intelligent systems, and Pitt’s strength in rehabilitation, health sciences and aging research. The primary objectives of QoLT REU are to excite undergraduate students about technology and engineering, engage them in cross-disciplinary research in QoLT to gain understanding of how to relate human functions (physiological, physical, social, and cognitive) to the design of intelligent devices and systems that aid and interact with people, expand their knowledge of emerging technologies in QoLT, and prepare them for graduate studies or professional careers in QoLT.
The program runs May 22, 2017 – July 28, 2017
The deadline is February 24, 2017
No particular background is required. Some examples of past participants' academic backgrounds include:
- All domains of engineering,
- Computer Science,
- Rehabilitation Science,
- Exercise Physiology,
- Psychology,
- and Biology

Materials for Society Research Experience
Paid materials science internship at Boise State University
Title: Research Experience for Undergraduates and Teachers in Materials for Society
Materials science is the enabling technology behind everything from modern electronics to fashion, safe and recyclable packaging, faster and fuel-efficient vehicles, novel energy generation and storage, aerospace propulsion systems, affordable housing, medical engineering, sensors, nanotechnology, and micromachines. One of the most exciting directions in science and policy-making is sustainability, with its emphasis on energy conservation, storage, and renewable production.
The objective of this Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Boise State University is to provide an intensive research-team experience with state-of-the-art facilities while exploring activities within the theme “materials for society.” Mentors from various disciplines work with students to develop skills needed to excel in academic and industrial research environments, where interdisciplinary teams are standard. Students ultimately present their results at the annual summer research conference.
The program runs from May 25 - July 28, 2017
The deadline is FEBRUARY 12, 2017
Benefits include a $500 stipend per week during the run of the program.
Research Projects
Projects generally fall into one or more of four broad categories:
- Energy generation (e.g., solar cells, magnetic shape-memory alloys, thermoelectrics)
- Energy storage (e.g., sodium-ion batteries, building systems)
- Energy conservation (e.g., carbon nanoelectronics)
- Societal challenges associated with materials processing/modeling/characterization (e.g., carbon nanoelectronics, empirical modeling)
