Student funding available for engineering projects and policy

October 14, 2008 by (permalink)   

We are pleased to announce the availability of two funds to support (a) "engineering students pursuing projects that offer exposure to engineering applications outside the classroom," and (b) "engineering students pursuing projects that combine engineering and policy".

Made possible by the Norman D. Kurtz '58 Fund for Innovation in Engineering Education and the Eugene Wong '55 Fund for Engineering and Policy, students (either as individuals or in groups) can apply for funding.

• Funding is open to all School of Engineering and Applied Science undergraduate students
• Students require the support and supervision of a faculty adviser
• Applications MUST be submitted no later than November 12, 2008

To get an idea of the kinds of projects that were funded in the past, see this list of projects.

Later this year, funds will also be made available through the Wong '55 fund to support "engineering students pursuing internships that combine engineering and policy."

Completed applications should be delivered to the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education (ACE-21 EQuad). More details are contained in the application.
