Summer 2007 Research Opportunities in Aerospace Science and Engineering
Are you a college junior interested in aerospace science or engineering? If your answer is Yes, spend your summer conducting research at a top-ranked engineering program in the nation. Preference will be given to students who ARE NOT attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
What is a REU Site?
The Research Experience for Undergraduates program (REU) Site Program supports active research by undergraduate students in areas funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Department of Aerospace Engineering (AE) at the University of Illinois is looking for ten students for its REU Site 2007 summer program. Projects will focus on aerospace-related science and engineering research. We invite highly-motivated juniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and who are US citizens or permanent residents, to apply to participate in our REU.
The ten undergraduate students will:
- Contribute actively to an intensive research project during 10 weeks over the 2007 summer
- Participate in a set of aerospace-related activities (presentations by special speakers tours of aerospace facilities and national labs
- Present the outcome of their research activities at a one-day symposium to take place at the end of summer.
We believe that such a program will provide a unique opportunity for you to become involved in aerospace-related research activities.The selected students will participate in research activities between June 4 - August 10, 2007, under the supervision of a faculty member. Participants will receive a $4,000 stipend, $2,000 for living expenses, and a travel allowance. The REU staff will help arrange for lodging.
How do I find more information about the program and research projects supported under this REU?

The 2006 Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars (LARSS) Program in Hampton, Virginia is seeking Space Grant Consortiums that are interested in sponsoring undergraduate (rising juniors and seniors) and graduate college students for a 10-week internship at NASA Langley Research Center. The LARSS Program gives students an opportunity to work alongside NASA LaRC scientists and engineers doing cutting edge research related to STEM fields. Each student will work under the direction of a NASA LaRC researcher who assumes the position of mentor for the summer. The program will run from June 5th through August 11th, 2006.
The LARSS Program is requesting Space Grant Consortiums to provide each rising junior and senior that they are sponsoring with a $4,500 stipend, and each graduate student with a $5,000 stipend. NASA Langley mentors will be requested to cover the $700 administrative fee for each student. The Space Grant Consortiums can also provide round-trip travel expenses for the students if desired, although LARSS interns generally pay their own travel expenses out of their stipends, which are considered scholarships.
The LARSS Program staff will work to get students housed in furnished apartments on condominiums, with four students per unit, to reduce their expenses. Students who arrive without cars will be housed with other students who can provide them with transportation to and from NASA Langley Research Center, in exchange for sharing the cost of gas.
Thousands of college students have participated in the LARSS Program, which was established in 1986. Attached (.pdf) is a LARSS Fact Sheet that provides details about the LARSS Program and it can be forwarded to college students, faculty, and administrators. The LARSS Program was recently recognized in a Feb. 18th Wall Street Journal article entitled "America’s A-List Internships."
Space Grant Consortia that would like to sponsor students for the LARSS Program should send LARSS application packets to Dr. Denise Siegfeldt, LARSS Director and P.I., NASA Langley Research Center, Mail Stop 400-LARSS, 17 Langley Boulevard, Hampton, VA 23681-2199, no later than Feb. 1, 2006.
