Undergraduates – Are you looking for a way to gain research experience and get an edge on grad school preparedness? Are you interested in water? Then check out these two opportunities to spend the summer studying water science and engineering. \u00a0I know a couple of faculty at Virgnia Tech, and I can highly recommend working with them. The program at Florida sounds good too.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

INTERDISCIPLINARY WATER SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia<\/strong>
\nApplication Deadline February 24, 2012<\/p>\n

Applications are invited from qualified and motivated undergraduate
\nstudents (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) from all U.S.
\ncolleges\/universities to participate in a 10-week (June 03-August 10,

The University of Florida<\/strong> invites applications for an interdisciplinary research program in water resources from undergraduate students in their sophomore, junior, and senior years, majoring in engineering or related fields in science and math. Selected students will conduct hands-on research projects for eight weeks, involving field\/laboratory experiments, theory, and computer modeling. The students will be distributed across Florida during the program. This unique program combines research and extension experiences in water resources to help convey research results for better water management.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
PROGRAM<\/strong>: June 11 \u2013 August 3, 2012. Includes all travel expenses, stipend, housing, and meals.<\/div>\n
ELIGIBILITY<\/strong>: US citizens or permanent residents who are in their sophomore\/junior\/senior year of study. Students at non-research institutions and those who are underrepresented in engineering and science are particularly encouraged to apply.<\/div>\n
CONTACT<\/strong>: Mr. Daniel Preston (prestond@ufl.edu)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
