For most summer research programs, this is your upcoming status as of the fall. Always check with the individual program's website for details.

Undergraduate Students

Description:
Are you interested in programming a car to drive itself this summer? This research experience for undergraduates (REU) permits students to engage with the myriad of applications that are related to autonomous ground vehicles.

The intellectual focus of the program includes the following research topics:

' Embedded control systems and algorithms; ' Wireless networks; ' Cognitive radio; ' Sensory data processing and sensor fusion; ' Model-based design for component-based systems; ' Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication; and ' Scalability of algorithms/systems (multi-vehicle, multi-device).

Students need not have existing expertise in these areas, a background sufficient for standing as an engineering or computer science/mathematics junior or senior will be sufficient.

Important Information

' Funded by the National Science Foundation '' 10 students will be supported for 10 weeks '' Stipend of $5,000 over the summer ' Room and board allowance, plus $600 travel allowance to Tucson, AZ '
