Summer REU Program in Cybermanufacturing at Texas A&M University

Texas A&M University is accepting applications for a Cybermanufacturing Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) Students for Summer 2021. Application deadline is February 15, 2021.

An NSF-funded Cybermanufacturing REU Site at Texas A&M University invites applications from undergraduate students (rising juniors and seniors in STEM disciplines) who are strongly interested in summer research experience.  Participants will be given the opportunity to work alongside faculty and graduate student mentors in ongoing faculty research in cybermanufacturing related topics. These may include (but not limited to) developing new “Apps” for real-time applications, developing new methods and processes in manufacturing, working with innovative machines and data analytics, and investigating new design approaches. There will also be opportunities for participating in several enrichment activities such as the Aggies Invent program, GRE workshops, an industry tour, and research seminars. 

Program Description:

The summer research program on cybermanufacturing is an REU Program (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) with funding provided by the National Science Foundation. The program will take place over the 10-week period from June 1^st to August 6^th, and will include mix of about ten undergraduate students from a number of universities. The program will support housing and travel costs for field trips. Additionally, each participant will be given a weekly stipend of $500. However, students are required to attend all 10 weeks without any break except for the University approved holidays.

Note: The proposed plan is subject to the TAMU guidelines related to COVID-19 pandemic and its public health policies related to on-campus research activities. In view of the pandemic concerns, the program plans to offer both on-campus and virtual sections. The students will have the option of choosing between one of the two sections. In the event of a COVID related disruption, the students enrolled in the on-campus section will be automatically rolled into the virtual REU section.
