Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) 2008

In summer 2008 (June 15 - August 22), UWEB will sponsor a 10-week research program for undergraduates on the university's Seattle campus. Participants will be involved in ongoing research projects with investigators, and will have the opportunity to take part in workshop training sessions in ethics, communication skills, and scientific presentation skills designed to provide the undergraduate scientist with a solid foundation for graduate study.

UWEB has a strong commitment to undergraduate education and has a particularly strong commitment to increasing diversity in the field of engineering. The UWEB REU, a National Science Foundation funded program, will take advantage of the uniquely interdisciplinary research environment at the biology and engineering interface to provide high quality summer research experiences for undergraduates from around the country. We strongly encourage women, under-represented minorities, and students with disabilities to submit applications.
