A Chemical Engineering Approach to Materials/ Biology Interface — by JBrown — last modified 2008-02-12 1620

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site, funded by the National Science Foundation, offers undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in ongoing research with faculty members. The program spans eight (8) summer weeks and involves undergraduate students from Texas A&M and other colleges and universities. While the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering is the home for this REU Site, the research projects are interdisciplinary in nature, so we welcome applications from students in related disciplines such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, and the physical sciences.

AERO-U: Aerospace Engineering Research Opportunities for Undergraduates — by JBrown — last modified 2007-07-02 1208

Summer 2006 will mark the beginning of a new undergraduate research program in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Texas A&M University, a summer REU Program (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) with funding provided by the National Science Foundation. The program is coordinated with the Dwight Look College of Engineering Academic Programs Office (EAPO) Undergraduate Summer Research Grant (USRG) (http://eapo.tamu.edu/usrg) and the Texas A&M Office of Undergraduate Research (http://ugr.tamu.edu/).

Computer Science REU Program — by JBrown — last modified 2007-07-02 1208

The program spans 10 weeks and involves undergraduate students from Texas A&M as well as students from other colleges and universities.

NSF-NIH Michael E. DeBakey Summer Research Training Program — by JBrown — last modified 2007-07-02 1208

The DeBakey Institute is home to the only colony of bats in the world dedicated to microvascular research. The research teams will examine the intact microvascular network in the batwing using an experimental approach that is minimally invasive and non-destructive. The DeBakey Institute Summer Research Program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in a 10-week summer research experience sponsored by both NSF and NIH.

REU: Expanding Scientific Investigation Through Entomology — by NPriolo — last modified 2008-02-28 1310

During the summer, students work closely for 10 weeks with a faculty mentor and conduct independent research projects in areas including biochemical analyses, DNA sequencing and extraction, analysis of gene expression, molecular marker development, physiological and toxicological bioassays, and stereomicroscopy, compound microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Students will also gain experience in applying research results to practical problems while conducting their research projects in their faculty mentor’s laboratory.

Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Biochemistry — by matt_voss — last modified 2008-02-12 1546
