MCEER REU Diversity Program Seeks Applicants

MCEER is seeking applicants for its 2005 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Diversity Program. The program sponsors outstanding students in civil engineering to spend ten weeks conducting individual research projects this summer at an NSF-funded MCEER-affiliated earthquake research university. At the end of the program, students will present their research results at a symposium in Reno, Nevada and participate in activities jointly organized by MCEER, MAE and PEER.

The program is open to junior or senior undergraduate students from the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program (LSAMP) or the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP). Applicants must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.
