REU site WE-FOCUS addresses the growing need for a skilled workforce in the areas of critical technology needs in the coming decades. The summer REU program offers research opportunities for domestic undergraduates from all US institutions. The program is open to any student who is majoring in a science or engineering-related field.
REU students will be immersed in a 10-week intensive research experience in the field of wearable sensors and systems. Additionally, professional development seminars, workshops, and field trips will be organized to enhance scholars' interest in STEM careers.
This REU site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
