UNDERGRADUATE
Undergraduate students (UGSs) will participate in the program as summer research interns (SRIs). SRIs will contribute to a research project and attend workshops and research seminars. We anticipate that many SRIs will extend their summer research into a formal UGS research project course, like ENCI 597 or ENCI 570, that will serve as a capstone design project course from (September through-April), accelerating their progress into the graduate program. UGS involvement will serve as a recruitment tool, with four months for SRIs and eight months for capstone projects.
