Undergraduate Research Participation in Electrical Engineering

在1990-2003年的夏季，缅因大学电气工程系将为10名本科生提供积极参与研究的机会。学生将获得经济奖励和生活津贴。现有的研究项目包括：(1)环境传感器；(2)自动化智能系统；（三）通信设备及应用；(4)运动控制；(5)微处理器/仪器仪表应用；(6)薄膜材料的生长与表征；(7)电力系统应用。至少五名学生将来自研究机会有限的机构，至少四名学生将是女性、少数民族或残疾学生。被选为该项目的学生将在实验室和课程作业中表现出高度的主动性和独立性。学生研究项目的选择与学生的兴趣和教育水平相匹配。除了广泛的大学设施外，学生还可以使用附近各种行业的设施，如传感器研究与开发公司，BIODE公司，班戈水电和缅因州中部电力公司，詹姆斯河，冠军和斯科特造纸公司，数字设备公司，飞兆和国家半导体。在课程结束时，学生需要提交书面报告和口头研讨会。学生圆满完成课程后可获得三个学分。

Students will receive financial awards plus a subsistence allowance. The available research projects include (1) Environmental Sensors; (2) Intelligent Systems for Automation; (3) Communications Devices and Applications; (4) Motion Control; (5) Microprocessor/Instrumentation Applications; (6) Growth and Characterization of Thin Film Materials; and (7) Power Systems Applications.At least five students will come from institutions where research opportunities are limited and at least four students will be women, minorities or students with disabilities. Students chosen for the program will have displayed a high degree of initiative and independence of thought in both laboratories and course work. Student research projects are chosen to match the student's interest and educational level. In addition to extensive University facilities, students will also have access to facilities at various nearby industries such as Sensor Research and Development Corporation, BIODE Corporation, Bangor Hydro Electric and Central Maine Power Companies, James River, Champion, and Scott Paper Companies, Digital Equipment Corporation, Fairchild and National Semiconductor. At the program culmination a written report and an oral seminar are required from the student. Three academic credits are awarded to the student upon satisfactory completion of the program.
