An immersive summer experience in electrical engineering
By exploring topics in circuits, computer architecture, software engineering, signal processing, and embedded systems, this free and accessible program is a valuable tool for aspiring electrical engineers (like you!). The program provides resources that empower students to explore the world of electrical engineering with resources, including open-source software, open-access papers, volunteer mentors, and more. Students will then be able to employ these resources to pursue their own individual independent project that will eventually culminate in a presentation and a write-up by the end of the summer.
Students participating in EEMP are expected to dedicate around
10-20 hours per week on the program, but this requirement is flexible. In addition, students
must be available for most of the program dates: July 1st - August 10th. There are absolutely no other requirements. We currently
expect to be able to accommodate all interested students. However, if spots do become limited,
preference will be given to:
This program will have one weekly journal club, one
interactive lab session, one content lecture, and one weekly research skills
lecture for all students, which will be recorded. If you are a synchronous student, you will have weekly
check-in meetings with your mentor on the progress of your independent research project.
During the last week of the program (August 9-10 for summer 2024), each student will present their individual project in a 10 to
15-minute presentation. In conjunction with the presentation, each student will
submit--and keep--a project paper that can be used as a research supplement in college or
other applications. Some students in the past have submitted their papers into student journals,
which is great! However, keep in mind that the central focus of this program is first and
foremost on enabling students to think carefully, deeply, and playfully as a scientist.
