I am writing to let you know about an opportunity for students interested in participating in ground breaking research at Georgia Tech. The Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA) is in the process of recruiting students who have experienced barriers to learning to participate in undergraduate research at the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC).
Students accepted into this selective program will be on
the cutting edge of epitaxial graphene research projects
at the MRSEC. This opportunitywill provide students $2,500
per year stipend, mentoring from MRSEC graduate
assistants and CATEA staff, and the opportunity to
participate in the Georgia STEM Accessibility Alliance
BreakThru program.
Students accepted into this selective program will be on the cutting edge of epitaxial graphene research, which is expected to replace the silicon used in electronics. Undergraduates participating in the MRSEC lab program will also benefit from participating in graduate level research that will distinguish their resume and will skillfully prepare them for a future in industry or graduate school. The National Science Foundation has made funding available for the MRSEC to provide this opportunity to a variety of students with the inclusion of students with physical, sensory or learning challenges in the Center’s education and outreach efforts.
To help these students, a collaboration was formed between MRSEC and CATEA that will provide support, research, training and knowledge dissemination to students in the program.
1. At least a 3.0 GPA
2. Currently a sophomore of junior majoring in the following programs: ISyE, ME, Chem, BioChem, EE, CompE, ChBE, BME, MSE
3. Has some sort of learning challenge, physical disability/mobility impairments, chronic health condition or condition that presents challenges regarding their school work.
