SMALL Honors Internship
Program (SHIP) |
- Studies have shown that
students who participate as a member of a research team
are significantly more likely to pursue an engineering
education and ultimately aspire to a career in
engineering.
- In SMALL's outreach
activities, a key pedagogical challenge is to motivate
young students to become multidisciplinary engineers.
- This challenge will be
addressed through the PI's SMALL (Sensors and
MicroActuators
Learning Lab) Honors Internship Program (SHIP).
- As part of the
activities for the funded NSF project, the PI started to
operate the SHIP program in his SMALL lab by integrating
existing on-campus outreach programs:
- (1) BEAM for K-12
minorities
- (2) INR for K-12
minorities
- (3) CSTEP for
college minorities
- (4) UB-ENSEA for
international exchange graduate students.
- (5) Undergraduate
students
