Now entering its third year, the Scieneering program at VT is an innovative undergraduate program focused on interdisciplinary research and academic study at the intersection of science, engineering and law (www.undergraduate.vt.edu/Scieneering). As part of this program, science and engineering sophomores and juniors will perform one or more semesters of research in a lab/group outside of their home college, such that a science major will conduct research in an engineering lab, or vice versa. Research may be a full-time summer experience (40 hours per week over 10 weeks) or a part-time experience (~15 hrs/wk during the semester and ~20 hrs/wk during the summer). Mentors receive up to $1,000 to purchase supplies pertinent to the student’s project and students will receive a fellowship. Mentors are expected to provide lab space and project oversight, assuring satisfactory student progress.
