Projects are hosted by the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) and are funded by the National Science Foundation. (The number of positions awarded will be determined once funding has been awarded in the Spring.) 

Candidates must be a U.S. Citizen or a U.S. Permanent Resident to be accepted into this program. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made.

Goals & Objectives
Students from institutions nationwide are recruited to participate in research projects pursued by faculty and researchers at the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). Each student will be a part of a research team, including a faculty project supervisor and a graduate student mentor, to guide them through the summer. The projects will be designed to match each student’s interest to maximize the potential for making a contribution during the session. Many projects have been identified, and new projects emerge each year. 

CMSR REU is committed to broadening participation in the research enterprise to strengthen our ability to innovate and create solutions that contribute to the betterment of humanity.  As such, we strongly encourage applications from:

• Students who are historically underrepresented in engineering
• Students from a non-traditional educational background, including through attendance at community colleges, schools in underserved rural, or urban communities
• Students who have demonstrated exceptional academic resilience by overcoming barriers such as economic, social, or educational disadvantage

1. Candidates must be a U.S. Citizen or a U.S. Permanent Resident to be accepted into this program. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made.
