>Dear Students interested in energy-related UROPs,
>
>The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) will support several full-time 
>energy UROPs during Summer 2011.  Undergraduate research topics may 
>address any aspect of energy systems and related environmental 
>challenges, such as energy sources and supply (solar, wind, 
>geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuel, etc); conversion, storage and 
>distribution; technology and use (transportation, buildings, etc); 
>policy; efficiency and demand-side management; and campus energy 
>management.
>
>Applications for summer 2011 Energy UROPs should include a brief 
>proposal developed with a faculty mentor who will supervise your 
>summer work.
>
>If interested, and if you have a faculty advisor in mind, please 
>work together to develop a one to three page proposal which 
>describes the context and scope of project, a tentative work plan, 
>your role in the UROP, and what you hope to get out of the 
>experience, both academically and personally.
>
>If you do not have a faculty advisor in mind but would like to find 
>a project, please see 
><http://web.mit.edu/mitei/education/urop.html>http://web.mit.edu/mitei/education/urop.html 
>for more information.
>
>Please submit your proposal to MITEI Student Activities Coordinator 
>Jennifer DiMase (<mailto:jdimase at mit.edu>jdimase at mit.edu) no later 
>than 12 noon on Monday, April 4.  You may also wish to submit an 
>online UROP application to be considered for Direct Funding through 
>the UROP office, should your project not be among those funded by 
>MITEI.  Ideally, MITEI UROP funding decisions will be made by April 
>14th, which is the UROP office summer direct funding deadline.
>
>MITEI UROP funding is provided by private donors and by members of 
>the MIT Energy Initiative, including Founding Member BP and 
>individual Affiliate Members with a particular interest in 
>supporting undergraduate research.
