SUMMER@CENS: a research program

This wiki is designed to assist in the dialogue regarding development of projects for this summer's high school and undergraduate research programs. Project development Team please feel free to add/edit.


The Summer@CENS Research Programs include the CENS Undergraduate Research Program and the CENS High School Scholars Program. The primary goals for our programs are to provide underrepresented US students the opportunity to conduct forefront research and engage in a scientific community with peers, graduate students and faculty. The research program is designed to increase the number of underrepresented US students who pursue graduate education in engineering and physical sciences.
