The Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (E3S) at the University of California, Berkeley will host its annual Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) from June 11 – August 12, 2012. This program is open to current sophomores, juniors and non-graduating seniors, majoring in Physical Sciences and Engineering and with a minimum GPA of 3.25. In particular, applicants from under-represented minority communities are encouraged to apply.
Our REU program introduces energy efficient electronics science to undergraduates who are motivated by science and engineering. We have research programs in nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, nanophotonics and nanomagnetics. Summer researchers have the opportunity to join E3S researchers who are working in a collaborative and innovative environment to make fundamental breakthroughs in the underlying physics, chemistry, and material science of electronics systems.
The program offers each participant nine weeks of research experience in the laboratory of an E3S faculty member at Berkeley that will include a research paper and a poster presentation of the research outcomes. In addition to participating in cutting edge electrical engineering and physics research projects, the program also offers educational activities including seminars, laboratory tours and field trips, as well as one-on-one advice regarding graduate school programs, the process to apply for fellowship, and a GRE prep course.
Additional program details, applicant requirements and the online application can be found on the web at: http://www.e3s-center.org/REU2012.htm
Applications must be postmarked or submitted online by February 1, 2012.
Any inquiries should be addressed to our E3S Education Director, Sharnnia Artis at sartis@eecs.berkeley.edu or 510-664-4467.
