SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS U R F 2000 Click here for pictures of this event. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation under the Research Experiences for Undergraduate Program Grant No. DMR-9820349 and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF 2000) program at Georgia Tech was for undergraduate science and engineering students to experience hands-on participation in research in the multi-disciplinary field of Materials Science and Engineering. The program focused on demonstrating "Structure-Property Correlation Across Length Scales." The SURF’2000 program involved the participation of 13 students (5 females, 4 minorities) which were selected out of 54 Applicants. Their average GPA was 3.4, and they were majors of:AE-2, Chem-1, ChE-1, Civil-1, ME-2, Biochemistry-1, and MSE-5, coming from Alfred U., U. of Rhode Island, Xavier U., Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern U., U. of Buffalo, U. of Delaware, and Georgia Tech. The students were mentored by faculty from following schools at Georgia Tech: AE-1, Chem-1, ChE-1, Civil-1, ME-2, and MSE-7. Each student received a $4,200 stipend, and $400 for research expenses. The students worked on a one-to-one basis with a faculty member, while interacting with post-doctoral fellows and graduate students in the group. The students attended weekly pizza-lunch meetings during which the participating faculty presented an overview of materials related research activities in their group. Field trips to different on-campus laboratories and materials companies in the Atlanta area (including Lucent Technologies, Lockheed-Martin) were arranged. The students made a final oral presentation and submitted a one-page extended abstract paper on their research. The following list gives the names of students, titles of research projects that they worked on, and names of their faculty mentors.
