UPLIFT: Undergraduate Program for Leaders In Future Transformation
Click to Enlarge
Started in Fall 2021, the UPLIFT program is an academic year research program for first year students across the College of Engineering. In the fall, students are invited to attend a series of research seminars hosted by faculty. In the spring, selected UPLIFT Students engage directly with CoE Faculty members to conduct research, ~3-5 hours each week. Students are encouraged to continue research in their labs after the semester ends, as well as to apply for an REU experience in the summer (REU Search | ETAPS REU).
Additional support (office hours, monthly networking meetings, and research support) is provided by the Center for STEM Education.
