| Abstract | INTRODUCTION NYU-Poly's Undergraduate Summer Research Program provides a unique opportunity for NYU-Poly, NYU College of Arts and Science, and NYU Abu Dhabi students to engage in research over the course of the summer. This program offers students far more than the traditional classroom experience; it allows them to work alongside faculty mentors on cutting-edge research projects. Close interaction with faculty and research staff promotes an educational experience that advances the i 2 e model of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. Undergraduate students are afforded the opportunity to conduct research as paid interns during this 10-week period. The program aims to enhance and broaden student's knowledge base by applying classroom learning to solve practical and contemporary problems and to better prepare them for lifelong learning. Summer 2013 marked the seventh year of the Undergraduate Summer Research Program. Since its inception, 293 students have participated in and 166 faculty members have contributed to the program. This year also marked the first year in which NYU's Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) took part in the program. In addition to their work in labs, students attended seminars on presentation skills, resume and cover letter writing, graduate schools admissions and gene patenting. Additionally, students presented their work-in-progress to other members of the research cohort at a special luncheon dedicated to practicing presentation skills and fostering inter-group collaboration on current and future projects. The program was an initiative of Professor Erich Kunhardt and Associate Provost Kurt Becker, who have played a vital role in making the program possible since its creation. NYU-Poly's faculty participation in this program was essential, as was the financial support provided by faculty mentors and NYU-Poly's Board of Trustees. The gifts from several alumni donors have also propelled the program's success. I would like to thank Dr. for their generous support of this year's program. Additionally, this year marked the second year of the George Juul Thompson Undergraduate ECE Research Fellowship. Six of this summer's researchers were graciously supported by this fellowship made possible by Ms. Dede Thompson Bartlett whose father, Mr. George Juul Thompson, was a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1930. Donors' gifts allow us to engage more student researchers, faculty mentors, and further strengthen this truly unique summer experience. I would also like to acknowledge Coordinator's Sara-Lee Ramsawak and Meagan Watson who ensure the programs daily operations run seamlessly. The abstracts published in this volume … |
