In the fall quarter, we
are inviting new students to participate in our research projects. The
preselection requirements are either a GPA of at least 3.5 or a
demonstrated significant experience in one of the areas listed below:
web design, XML programming, business analytics, marketing, graphic
design, android programming, STREAM Tools, design of electronic
circuits, signal processing, intellectual property, video design,
entrepreneurship. Students are organized into interdisciplinary teams,
working on the project subjects below. A frequent intent is to move the
project towards commercialization. In the most successful cases, these
students will start new businesses or business divisions on these
topics.
Below
is a list of the various teams and research projects recruiting
students, followed by an FAQ (please make sure to read before applying).

Quick link FAQ
What is SEAL?
Sensors,
Energy, and Automation Laboratory is focused primarily on the design of
novel medical devices, sensors for industrial and military
applications, and energy-saving industrial technologies. General

Do you offer funding?
Overall
approach to funding: we eat what we kill. In some labs, funding is
offered to fresh incoming students – we usually do not do that, whether
the students are graduate or undergraduate. Each funded student in our
lab, and we have quite a few, started in a non-funded position,
participated in the development of research proposals, submitted
scholarship and fellowship applications, co-developed kickstarter
projects, won business plan competitions, etc. Therefore, normally, the
initial appointment is for credit only, however, as student get involved
in the projects, paid positions become available based on the overall
success of the project. Projects also provide a better resume for
scholarships, fellowships, recommendation letters, and graduate school
applications.
“I am/my friend is” from a different department, is it possible to participate and get academic credit?
Yes, in most cases we are able to work out academic credit arrangements with other departments.
