[Iefac.list] 2023 summer undergraduate research opportunity for your Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship undergraduate recipients and non-Noyce undergraduates

[Oenardi Lawanto]

Hello,

We are sending you this email to inform you of a summer undergraduate research opportunity for the undergraduate students (not graduate students) who participate in your NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship project. This opportunity will help your students understand how learners learn and gain educational research experience before your students start to teach in K-12 schools.  Non-Noyce undergraduates are also eligible to apply.

The Department of Engineering Education at Utah State University will hold a ten-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program https://engineering.usu.edu/eed/reu/annoucement, starting May 15, 2023, to provide undergraduate students (in either 4-year or 2-year schools) in a science, technology (including engineering technology), engineering, or mathematics (STEM) discipline with intensive experience in engineering education research, such as how learners' experience, background, and perception play a role when they learn engineering knowledge and skills.

The central theme of the REU program is "Problem Solving in Engineering Education." The program will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 - Pre REU Site Program (May 15 - 26, 2023); and Phase 2 -REU Site Program (May 30 - July 21, 2023). Phases 1 consists of preparatory and foundational work that will be conducted at the participant's own educational institution/home-base and through distance mentoring, Phase 2 will be conducted at USU campus in Logan and will be face-to-face. This REU Site program is carefully designed to offer opportunities for each REU participant to engage in authentic and funded research tasks, both individually and collaboratively, as well as an opportunity to gain experience in managing the team project deliverables.

Each REU student will receive up to $8,450, including 1) a stipend of $6,000, 2) a housing and meal allowance of $1,700, and 3) up to $750 for a round-trip airfare ticket to travel between their distant location and USU.

The applicants must be at least 18 years old by the time the program starts on May 15, 2023, must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States, must be an undergraduate student who will not graduate before September 1, 2023 (in either 4-year or 2-year schools) with a good academic standing in a professional undergraduate program in science, technology (including engineering technology), engineering, or mathematics.

The REU announcement is also attached in this email.  The deadline of application is February 26, 2023.  Interested students must submit applications online via https://engineering.usu.edu/eed/reu/application.  If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Oenardi Lawanto at olawanto at usu.edu<mailto:olawanto at usu.edu> or Dr. Wade Goodridge at wade.goodridge at usu.edu<file:///C:/Users/olawanto/Box/REU%202021-2024/REU%202021/wade.goodridge@usu.edu>.
