I am reaching out to inform you that we are now accepting applications for the summer 2019 NSF REU program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at Vanderbilt University. The application deadline is February 15^th.  The Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) focuses on interdisciplinary nanoscale research at the interface of chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. More than 40 faculty participants from the School of Engineering, College of Arts and Science, and the School of Medicine inspire students by creating an atmosphere of excitement and creativity. Each REU participant will work directly with VINSE faculty members and their research groups and be part of the larger VINSE community.

The VINSE REU has a record of success, 70% of former VINSE NSF REU students attend graduate school and have received several awards and honors including:

·         13 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships (another 7 received honorable mentions)

·         6 Goldwater Fellowships

·         1 Gates Cambridge Fellowship

·         1 NASA Graduate Fellowship

·         3 NIH Awards: 1 Graduate Fellowship, 1 Postbac ITRA, 1 Oxford-Cambridge Scholar

·         >40% of former REU students have (or are expected to) co-author a journal publication

·         More than half of our former REU students have given a presentation outside the REU program including 21 at National Conferences funded by the REU site

PROGRAM INCLUDES

·         Hands-on research in state-of-the-art facilities

·         Seminars, workshops, and field trips

·         Group social activities and banquet

·         Optional outreach opportunities to high school students

ELIGIBILITY

·         Undergraduate students majoring in science or engineering

·         U.S. Citizen or permanent resident

·         Minorities and women strongly encouraged to apply

AWARD

·         $5,000 stipend

·         $500 travel allowance

·         Room and board

We would like to make this opportunity available to your students at all stages of the undergraduate careers and from all institutions including community colleges. We would appreciate if you would forward them this information.  Please visit: https://www.vanderbilt.edu/vinse/reu/ for more information or to apply.

Summer Internships in Laser Science and Engineering

The Army Research Laboratory’s Advanced Solid-State Lasers Team is involved in creating enabling technology for high power lasers.  Research topics vary over time, but typically include solid-state lasers at cryogenic temperatures, ceramic laser gain media, eye-safer laser concepts, spectroscopy of novel laser materials, fiber lasers, and stimulated Brillouin scattering.  One to three students will be hired as summer interns in 2019.  We are seeking undergraduate and graduate student candidates in physics, electrical engineering, materials sciences, and optics, who are U.S. citizens.  Dual citizenship or permanent residence status is insufficient.  First-time participants must have at least one full year of school to complete following the summer of 2019.  For more information, or to submit a résumé and transcript, send email to DEscholars@arl.army.mil. Applicants should state in the email that they meet both the citizenship and continuing education requirements.  To receive full consideration, applications should be received by February 15, 2019.  Program sponsored by the Directed Energy Professional Society www.deps.org.  This research is pursued at ARL’s facility in Adelphi, MD.

Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Engineering Students

Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership

·         We help students, faculty, staff, and recent alumni embrace the entrepreneurial mindset.

·         Our programs, events, and competitions are open to all UCF students from all disciplines and degree programs.

·         We also offer FREE one-on-one coaching in the Blackstone LaunchPad (located on the first floor of the Student Union); our coaches have experience from a variety of industries and serve clients at every step of the entrepreneurial journey.

You might be wondering why students in the College of Engineering would be interested in entrepreneurship. Engineering students have a natural knack for innovation; they might know how to create something, but need some guidance on commercialization. We can help students learn and practice the entrepreneurial mindsets and skillsets that are sought after by leading engineering employers like Siemens and Harris.

Upcoming Events and Competitions

·         We’ll be kicking off the semester with a series of events during the second week of classes (1/14-1/18) – all of the events are featured on our website.

·         Additionally, the JOUST New Venture Competition will be taking place this spring, with up to $75,000 awarded in seed funding and in-kind services.

·         More information, including eligibility and important dates, is all available online.

Remember – with the exception of competitions, our resources are available to you as well! If there’s any way the CEL could be of service to your students or for your own entrepreneurial pursuits, don’t hesitate to reach out.
