Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology REU
The Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology (CEINT) hosts a center-wide Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (REU) funded by the National Science Foundation. This REU program provides research experiences across four CEINT partner institutions: Duke, Virginia Tech and Carnegie Mellon Universities as well as the European Center for Research and Education in Geosciences and the Environment (CEREGE) in Aix-en-Provence, France.
This 10 week summer REU program offers participating students opportunities to engage in their own original research projects with a focus on the environmental impacts of nanotechnology. This program is uniquely designed to guide undergraduate students toward independent interdisciplinary research in academic fields related to nano-science and engineering. These include biomedical engineering, materials science, biology, chemistry, ecotoxicology, geosciences, and civil & environmental engineering.
Eligibility
This internship is open to undergraduates who are majoring in engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, ecotoxicology or other fields related to nano-science and engineering. Applicants must also be either citizens or permanent residents of the US or its territories.
Application Deadline: February 28th, 2016 at 8PM EST

Civil and Environmental Engineering REU Will update site late 2015
Each summer, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University hosts undergraduate students from around the country in our research laboratories. These students work with a faculty member and their research group to tackle an innovative research project. Students admitted to the program receive a competitive award that provides a monthly research stipend.
Eligibility
All applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents. The program is designed for student who are juniors during the internship period, but exceptional sophomores will also be considered. Students do not have to be majoring in civil and environmental engineering.
Application Deadline: January 31, 2016

Electrical and Computer Engineering REU Will update site later
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University hosts undergraduate students from around the world in their research laboratories in the summer. These students will work with a faculty member and their research group to tackle an innovative research project. Students admitted to the program receive a competitive monthly research stipend as well as arranged on-campus housing and a travel allowance.
Eligibility
Domestic and international students are invited to apply. The program is designed for students who are juniors in Spring 2015, but exceptional sophomores will also be considered. Students should be majoring in ECE or a related discipline relevant to their area of research interest.
Application Deadline: February 1. 2016

Marine Lab
The National Science Foundation funded REU program will take place at the Duke Marine Lab located on Pivers Island in coastal Carteret County of North Carolina. Pivers Island is part of the Newport River estuary and is about 2 km from the ocean via the Beaufort Inlet. Coastal and estuarine invertebrate species and a variety of habitats (marshes, mudflats, sand flats, beaches, creeks, channels and coastal ocean) are readily available for research.
Eligibility
Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the U.S. or its territories, and be a rising sophomore, junior or senior enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program. Applications are encouraged from U.S. citizens belonging to groups currently underrepresented in the marine sciences (i.e., Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, African Americans, Latino/Hispanics and Pacific Islanders).
Application Deadline: February 15, 2016

Materials Research Science and Engineering Center
The Triangle MRSEC focuses on studying programmed assembly of soft matter, inventing materials that have never before existed and creating new ways to use those materials. Join our collaborative and interdisciplinary center for an exciting Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Outstanding undergraduates will participate in a nine-week summer program designed to provide unique research experiences, professional development opportunities, and increased awareness of materials science and engineering. Each student will participate in an innovative research project that probes fundamental aspects of experimental and/or theoretical soft matter science under the guidance of a faculty and a graduate student mentor. Each REU project is designed to involve the student in all aspects of research, from project planning and experimental design to data analysis and presentation. Triangle MRSEC REU students have access to state-of-the art facilities and resources at Duke and NCSU, participate in several professional development and networking activities, and conduct research in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment.
Eligibility
All applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents and have health insurance coverage. Students entering their junior or senior year will be given preference, but exceptional entering sophomores will be considered.
Application Deadline: January 1, 2016

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) for Increasing Diversity
Through National Science Foundation funding, leveraged with other funding sources, our Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site Program for Increasing Diversity at Duke Engineering offers challenging research opportunities to students nationwide to spend a summer researching at Pratt on the Duke University campus. Such research makes these students highly competitive for jobs, internships, and graduate school scholarships. A hallmark of these programs is long-term follow-up, ensuring that a positive experience translates into career impetus.
This nine-week paid program offers research in all the departments of the Pratt School of Engineering—Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science.
The REU Program is under the direction of Martha Absher, Associate Dean for Education and Outreach Programs. It has an emphasis on including populations underrepresented in engineering--women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities. All eligible students are encouraged to apply. A wide variety of projects are offered in all areas of engineering.
Application Deadline: Dates vary, please see website.
