This National Science Foundation project grant of $384,771 will fund a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site program at the University of Tennessee from April 2022 through March 2025. The site program will support 10 undergraduate students in 10-week research projects related to microelectronics and sensor systems under the guidance of electrical engineering and computer science faculty mentors. Students will gain hands-on experience using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation to develop theories and design and implement microelectronics and sensor systems solutions. In addition to independent research projects, students will participate in professional development activities focused on communication skills, research methodologies, and exploring potential career pathways in fields such as computer engineering and quantum computing. The program aims to increase diversity in engineering by recruiting traditionally underrepresented minority students and those who are deaf or hard of hearing. The funding falls under the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to advance innovation and excellence in engineering research and education.
