SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: UNIVERSITY OF AKRON The College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron offers a multidisciplinary summer reserach experience for undergraduate (REU) students that bridges the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, and/or physics. Students will participate in a 12-week summer internship to investigate a fundamental question within the broad field of polymer science and engineering, involving either theory, simulations and modeling of polymer properties, polymer synthesis and kinetics, physical properties of polymers, or polymer engineering. Each week, all interns will meet to participate in a career development activity, discuss their research progress, and/or visit a local/regional company. The summer will culminate with an oral poster presentation of each intern's research results at the Northeast Ohio (NSF-REU) Undergraduated Research Conference. Stipends for Summer 2007 are $6,000.
