NSF REU Multi-Physics of Active Systems and Structures

Published by under Engineering Opportunities

The NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates site:
Multi-physics of Active Systems and Structures (MASS) program. We are
recruiting the first cohort of students for the 2012 summer session. A
wide range of advanced topics based on faculty’s current research
activities will be proposed including the development of micro air
vehicles, multi-modal robots, active flow control, aero-acoustics,
sensors and actuators, smart materials, energy harvesting and storage,
etc.. The multidisciplinary nature of these projects will engage
students in cross-cutting technologies by inspiring the integration and
synthesis of ideas and facilitating a better understanding of
engineering design at the system level.
Attached is an application form for
the REU program and students can browse though the web site for more
information: http://www.eng.fsu.edu/reu-mass/ about the summer program.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions concerning the program.
