The Office of Undergraduate Research has a series of online courses with one course for students who are interested in getting started in research. This summer may be a good time for students to prepare for locating potential research projects next year when research operations start up. There are two sections for this course. One course started this week and one will start in mid-July.

There are three other courses: two for current researchers as professional and skill development and one for those interested in searching and applying to graduate/professional school programs.

Syllabi can be found online for all courses, so you or students can review what the topics are. These courses are offered every semester.

Best,

JJ Sadler
Associate Director, Office of Undergraduate Research

ME UG Students:

I am writing to invite interested students to apply for UG Teaching Assistantship positions (UGTAs).  At the current time the only courses we are seeking UGTAs are ME 365 and ME 375.  If you have a Cumulative GPA of 3.4 or better (or are close) and a grade of “B” or higher in the course you want to TA for, then you are eligible to apply for a position.

To Apply

To apply go to the TA Portal: https://engineering.purdue.edu/MECL/tools/ta_app/ and submit your information by Friday (8/7/20) at 11:59pm.  We would welcome all interested students to apply.

Thanks,
