| Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program | |
The Schaefer School of Engineering currently hosts an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program in Wireless Engineering entitled: Integrated Software Radio and Radio Frequency Test Bed for Wireless Research in Dynamic Spectrum Access.
Dr. Yu-Dong Yao and his team in collaboration with Jackson State University were awarded the Undergraduate Research Program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) where undergraduate students research and design integrated test beds to develop software-defined radio and frequency transmitters and receivers. Their research aims to increase spectrum utilization significantly for both military and commercial applications. The project includes: mentorship by experienced electrical engineering and computer science faculty along with Co-PIs (Professor Bruce McNair and Dr. Yan Meng), weekly presentations, seminars, and other professional development opportunities during a ten-week summer program at Stevens.

Technogenesis is the educational frontier, pioneered by Stevens, where faculty, students and industry jointly nurture research concepts to commercialization and back to the classroom. It is more than technology transfer, it is part of the Stevens educational experience and creates a climate of innovation and enterprise across the campus.
In support of the Technogenesis spirit, the Office of University Research and Enterprise Development sponsors the annual undergraduate summer research opportunity in innovative design, research and/or business project for a period of ten weeks. Under this program, students are expected to conduct the research on-campus, on a full time basis and with the direct supervision of a faculty or research staff member from Stevens.
Students meet with an advisor with whom to discuss and develop a project plan suitable for that student. Alternatively, students, who desire to research a specific project not listed on the website projects list, may seek out an advisor willing to oversee their research and develop a specific project plan for proposal submission.
Team projects will be accepted with up to a maximum of two students per team. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, but there must be a primary faculty advisor. Students are expected to work full time with no other full time employment. Stevens Scholars are not eligible as they have other research opportunities.
The typical summer research work week is 7 hours per day, (9-5 with 1 hour lunch break), 5 days per week, (M-F). Students should discuss planned time off for vacation etc. Students are required to work a total of no more than 350 hours, limited to 35 hours per week, during the above period.
- Students receive a maximum stipend of $3500 (based on 350 hours of research time @ $10.00 per hour).
- Students receive free on-campus housing.
- The minimum accepted cumulative GPA is 3.0 to participate.
A final report documenting the research and results must be prepared by all summer scholars and submitted to David T Peacock with copy to their faculty advisor. The program concludes with a final ceremony and poster board exhibition of the individual research projects.

As part of the Scholars Program, we offer special honors seminars at the freshman and sophomore levels in chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
In addition to one course per semester, Stevens requires Scholars Program students to take H 183 through H 186, Honors Research Seminars I through IV. Upon completion of the freshman year, you must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or better.
As a Stevens Scholar, you have the opportunity to work on a special research project with a Faculty Research Mentor during the summer months. Participation in special research is subject to the availability of suitable projects and the approval of a Faculty Research Mentor. Students working on these projects receive a stipend and, if residence hall rooms are available, free campus housing during each summer project period. If you wish to pursue an accelerated program instead of conducting summer research, you can take up to four tuition-free courses each summer.
