Overview
The ECE department administers a few summer research fellowships from the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
We prioritize first-, second- or third-year undergraduates, though students between their third and fourth year of study (whether or not on PEY Co-op) are also eligible.
The selection criteria for the awards differ slightly but generally include the applicant’s academic background, their financial need, and how their skills fit the duties and responsibilities of the research project.
