Preparing RF Engineers for Communication, Imaging and Sensing (PRECISE) is a paid summer internship program for undergraduate students jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Defense at the Florid International University, Miami, FL.

 

Radio frequency (RF) technologies in microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz frequency bands has ubiquitous presence in modern electronics. Wireless communication has enabled game-changing technology through LTE and 5G campaign, which is ultimately responsible for modern internet, big-data and cloud computing boom. Smart electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), wearable technology, all critically rely on continuous innovations in this area. PRECISE REU site provides research experience to undergraduate students through summer research projects mentored by faculty participants at FIU. The program also includes research seminars given by our faculty and researchers and engineers from our industrial partners as well as professional development activities to help students acquire critical soft skills and to help in graduate school applications.

 

What are the benefits?

·        $4500 research stipend.

·        Round-trip travel stipend of up to $500 (For students living outside of the Miami area)*

·        Full support for housing at FIU dorms and meals

·        Professional development programs*

 

Who is eligible?

·        Students must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Residents

·        Women, members of under-represented minority populations, and students from institutions that do not have strong STEM research programs are encouraged to apply.

·        Applicants must be in good academic standing

·        Have completed at least two semesters of college

·        Participants may NOT take courses during the summer program

First Look@Argonne – A STEM Recruitment Event

A STEM RECRUITMENT EVENT FOR UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS

Dear University Faculty and Staff,
We would like to invite you and your students to the Laboratory’s fourth annual First Look@Argonne – A STEM Recruitment Event for Underrepresented Groups Conference on Friday, October 28, 2022. This year’s conference will be conducted virtually. The half-day info session will provide you and students with the opportunity to:

  • Learn about the Department of Energy (DOE) complex and Argonne’s mission science research.
  • Explore Argonne’s campus and research facilities virtually.
  • Network with Argonne researchers and engineers across the many different STEM disciplines.
  • Learn about summer and year-round research opportunities for undergraduate students.
  • Connect with current and past interns.
  • Consider participation in a tandem event, Mini-Semester, to further prepare you for an internship at a national laboratory.

Our goal for this conference is to show students the diverse STEM research and opportunities at Argonne and across the DOE laboratory complex, and the support we offer in navigating the summer internship application process.

Please contact University Student Programs for any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you at First Look@Argonne.
