This
program will not be offered in 2004
.........This
ten-week summer research experience is focused around the intellectual
and interdisciplinary theme of innovative sintered products. Shaped powders
are bound via this thermal process to create innovative products for aerospace,
automotive, biomedical, sculpture reproduction, sporting equipment and
other applications. Even the eyeglass frames you wear are likely to have
been made by sintering of powdered materials.
| Who
should apply? |
- Students who are entering their
Junior or Senior year.
- Students who demonstrate a strong
interest in the science and engineering fields.
- Women, minorities and the disabled
are strongly encouraged to apply as we are committed to provide
an opportunity to students who would not normally have the chance
or to those who are underrepresented in the science and engineering
fields.
- Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
