The Fluid Power Scholars Program is a collaborative effort
between the

Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) and companies in

the fluid power industry who are corporate members of the CCEFP. This

highly selective summer program identifies and connects the very best

undergraduate engineering students across the United States to the fluid

power industry with the purpose of training the next-generation of fluid

power leaders.



This is a highly competitive program, open to undergraduates who have

successfully completed at least two years in an accredited engineering

program in the United States. The Scholars program begins with an

intensive three-day instructional program in fluid power, taught at the

Fluid Power Institute at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), and

follows with internships in the fluid power industry. The 2010 Fluid

Power short course at MSOE will be held June 1-3. Students should expect

to spend 10-11 weeks as a participant in this program. Up to ten

undergraduate students will be selected as Fluid Power Scholars by a

committee of faculty and industry representatives. In addition to their

paid internships, scholars will receive stipends for travel and living

expenses associated with their work at MSOE.

Dear University of Minnesota Undergraduate Students,

The Office for Diversity in Graduate Education would like to invite
you to consider participating in the Multicultural Summer Research
Opportunity Program that will be held on the Twin Cities Campus
from June 7 - August 13, 2010.

http://www.grad.umn.edu/outreach/research/MSROP/

Established in 1986, the Multicultural Summer Research Opportunities
Program (MSROP) at the University of Minnesota provides undergraduates
an opportunity to develop research and inquiry skills with a faculty
mentor on an individual basis or as part of a research team, which may
include graduate students, research scientists, technicians and other
MSROP students. Through the mentoring process, students are introduced
to the methodology of their chosen discipline by involving them in
research and other scholarly activities. Such involvement is expected to
improve the quality of the students' undergraduate experience, to
enhance the likelihood of their completing bachelor's degrees, and to
attract larger numbers of prepared students of color to graduate or
professional schools.

If you are interested, please refer to the MSROP website

       University of Michigan's Post-baccalaureate Research Education
Program (PREP), funded by the NIH, is designed to help underrepresented
students who want to further prepare for application to top-ranked
Ph.D. programs in the biological and biomedical sciences.
       Since most strong graduate schools now consider significant prior
research essential to understanding the rigors of graduate school and
a career in science, a year of post-baccalaureate research can make a
significant difference in the ability of students to matriculate into
a graduate program that maximizes their potential.  In some other cases,
students may have research experience, but have specific deficiencies in
their academic background that diminish their qualifications for graduate
school. These students will be able to take additional course work
while enhancing their research credentials in our PREP program.
        Up to nine applicants will be selected to enter the program on July
1, 2010.  During the first month of study PREP directors will help
students match with faculty mentors whose labs are doing research of
interest to them. Over 150 University of Michigan faculty members
are available to mentor PREP students for one year research
experiences, including guiding them through the graduate school
application process. All admitted students receive a full tuition
scholarship, salary ($21,000), and benefits including health and
dental insurance.  In addition to research, PREP students have
opportunities to participate in a variety of activities designed to
help prepare them for graduate school applications.
       Applications to the Michigan PREP will be accepted until April
16, 2010, however admissions are rolling so early applications are
encouraged.

What is the STARS internship program:
The STARS internship program is a partnership between the St. Croix Watershed Research Station (SCWRS) and the National Park Service at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (SACN) and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA). During the summer of 2010, four interns will spend eight weeks working alongside the staff of the St. Croix Watershed Research Station (SCWRS) and an assigned research mentor to conduct an independent research project in environmental science along either the St. Croix or Mississippi River. This will involve field work on one of the rivers, and laboratory work and data analysis at the SCWRS. Interns will also participate in a weekly seminar at the SCWRS where we will discuss the basics of designing a research project, analyzing data, and presenting the results of scientific research, as well as topics such as the process of applying to graduate school and careers in environmental science. At the end of the internship, students will have completed their own research project which they will present at a regional conference.

Who should apply:
We are looking for college students who have a strong interest in environmental science and are excited to spend the summer conducting an independent research project while doing field work at SACN or MNRRA. No prior research experience is necessary, but applicants must have completed at least introductory college‐level course work in the sciences by
the summer of 2010.


When and Where:
The 8‐week STARS internship program will run from June 7 through July 30, 2010;
interns will receive a $2,000 stipend. Interns will attend weekly seminars at the
SCWRS in Marine on St. Croix, MN and will spend 2‐3 days per week working on
their independent research project alongside their research mentors. At the end of
the eight weeks, interns will present the results of their research at a local
conference. The St. Croix STARS internship program will draw upon various staff
of the SCWRS, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, as well as local researchers
doing work on the river. Joy Ramstack, Toben Lafrancois, and Jill Coleman Wasik
(SCWRS) are the primary contacts for the program, and will coordinate research
projects and lead weekly seminars at the SCWRS.

How to apply:
Apply on‐line at www.smm.org/internships/openings Applications will be
