The Stevens,  Office of Academic Entrepreneurship, (OAE) is now seeking participants for the 2012 Technogenesis® Summer Scholars Research Program. In this program, undergraduate students engage in research, innovative design, and/or business projects for a period of ten weeks. The work must be conducted on campus under the active supervision of a Stevens faculty member or a member of the research/scientific staff. The program provides a stipend of $3,500 and free on-campus housing to undergraduate students who are selected to participate (selection rate is approximately 50%) in Technogenesis® projects during the summer months. Students will have the opportunity to continue to work on their projects during the following school year if warranted by the faculty advisor (funding is not guaranteed by Technogenesis®). The process is as follows:
Review program guidelines for eligibility requirements and list of available topics/projects (areas of work) at website. (We encourage students to identify a topic/project on which they prefer to work). See Technogenesis® Summer Scholarship Guidelines.
Consult a faculty advisor as to the scope and suitability of the topic/project you may wish to undertake while performing university research. The student should also provide the faculty member with a copy of their resume.
Once a suitable project and faculty advisor have been identified, candidates should prepare and review the proposal submission form with faculty advisors. A Downloadable Proposal Submission is available on the OAE Website or here. Once reviewed, faculty advisors should sign a hardcopy and attach the student resume and a copy of student ID, which should be submitted to: Sandra Furnbach, EAS Building, Room 212. An electronic record should also be provided to Sandra.Furnbach@stevens.edu. Student proposals can be submitted March 7 through April 6, 2012. The deadline for the receipt of student proposals is 5:00 PM, April 6, 2012.
