Research Experience for Undergraduates

The Research Experience for Undergraduates Program sponsors outstanding junior and senior undergraduate students in civil engineering to spend ten weeks conducting individual research projects exploring new directions in earthquake studies over the summer at the NSF-funded MCEER-affiliated earthquake research universities. At the end of the program, the students will present their research results at a symposium and participate in field trips and other technical activities jointly organized by MCEER and two other NSF-funded earthquake research centers, Mid-America Earthquake Center (MAE) and Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER).

Program Information: REU participants will be paired with a faculty advisor and will join the faculty member's research team. Each participant will have a predetermined individual research project, chosen during the selection process, and will be responsible for completing the project within the allotted time. Students should be available full time from approximately June 1 through mid-August.
