Call for Undergraduate Researchers: Spring 2019 Equity REU
The College of Engineering is pleased to announce a call for undergraduate research proposals for the spring 2019 Equity REU program. This REU program supports Penn State undergraduate engineering students to conduct research with Penn State faculty at University Park.

The student requirements of the program include 10 hours of research per week, a scholarly paper, poster presentation, and attendance at monthly professional development workshops.
While open to all students in the college, the program actively recruits students who fit the following criteria:
