Seventeen undergraduate students who have spent their summer doing real-world research at CNSE had an opportunity to showcase their findings on August 7 at a poster presentation that marked the capstone of CNSE's 2009 Summer Internship Program. 

The 10-week program provided hands-on research experience and interaction with industrial experts to qualified undergraduate students pursuing careers in nanoscience, nanoengineering and the nanotechnology industry. The poster presentations covered research topics that included nanoelectronics, stem-cell research, EUV optics, supercapacitors, and models of academic and industrial collaborations for advancing nanotechnology know-how. 

The world-class CNSE Summer Internship Program offers each intern the opportunity to work with one or more CNSE/industrial-partnered research programs, and interact closely with CNSE faculty, staff, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students. This unique program also offers exposure to industrial experts through weekly seminars and public presentation of research results. The capstone of the internship program is a public poster presentation showcasing each intern's summer research project.
