The Department of Engineering Education at Utah State University will hold a ten-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program between June and August 2014 to provide undergraduate students in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) discipline with intensive experience in engineering education research, such as how learners' experience, background, and perception play a role when they learn engineering knowledge and skills.

 Abundant summer outdoor activities exist in Utah and nearby states, including numerous national parks and monuments, such as Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and Arches National Parks.  Logan is among the best college town in the nation.  From remote areas accessible only to hardy backpackers, to beautiful views enjoyed on a leisurely walk, Logan’s wide spaces are a patchwork of scenic, recreational, and historic venues,  Mountain hiking, biking, and rock climbing are among popular summer sports. 

 Each REU student will receive up to $7,500, including 1) a stipend of $5,000, 2) a housing and meal allowance of $1,800, and 3) up to $700 for a round-trip airfare ticket to travel between your distant locations and USU.  The living cost in Logan is low.  Applicants must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States, and must be an undergraduate student with a good academic standing in a professional undergraduate program in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics discipline.

 The deadline of application is April 1, 2014. 

 If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Oenardi Lawanto at olawanto@usu.edu or
