Paid Summer Internships in Computer Science and Engineering

The CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU) Program matches promising undergraduates studying computer science or computer engineering with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution.The objective is to increase the number of women and students from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and engineering. The DREU experience is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school, providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate admissions and fellowships.Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks), plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate. Additional funds may be available to support student conference travel, either during the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU. An online application, more information about DREU, and webpages authored by previous participants are available at: http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
