The NHERI Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Summer Program is dedicated to enabling undergraduate college students in gaining research experience as well as knowledge and understanding of multi-hazard (earthquake, wind, tsunamis, and coastal) engineering as well as post-event reconnaissance, cyberinfrastructure, simulation, data management, and social science research through participation in a hands-on, research-based project that will introduce participants to a network of faculty, staff, and student engineers, scientists, and social scientists who work to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and understand the impact of natural hazards on society.
Because the projects vary in scope, this program looks for a variety of majors including civil engineering, computer science, and architecture, to name a few. If you are interested in solving engineering problems dealing with natural hazards or understanding natural hazards' impact on society, this undergraduate research program is for you!
