The UPLIFT program is an academic year research program for first-year students across the College of Engineering. In the fall, students are invited to attend a series of research seminars hosted by faculty. In the spring, selected UPLIFT Students engage directly with CoE Faculty members to conduct research, ~3-5 hours each week. Students are then encouraged to apply for an REU experience in the summer (Links: NSF REU Search | ETAPS REU Applications). Additional support (office hours, monthly networking meetings, and research support) is provided by the Center for STEM Education.
If you are a first-year COE student and interested in attending UPLIFT seminars in the Fall of 2024 (a requirement to apply for the program), please RSVP here:
