Research Internships in Science and Engineering:
The Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), the Advanced Optical Materials IGERT Program, and the College of Engineering at the University of California Santa Barbara are seeking undergraduate science and engineering majors who are interested in pursuing a research experience. This internship program will bring undergraduate students from around the country to the UC Santa Barbara campus for a 10-week summer research experience . Interns will gain first-hand experience in scientific investigation in a dynamic, collaborative research environment. They will be matched individually with MRL, IGERT and College of Engineering faculty and graduate student lab mentors who will provide training and support. In addition to research, the interns also participate in weekly group meetings to develop oral presentation skills, attend special seminars and present their results at an end-of-summer poster session.
