IOS
began during the spring of 2003. Today, the program relies on
the support of 18 Ph.D. students who mentor 50 underrepresented freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from the College of
Computing and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The program
pairs the graduate mentors with three undergraduate students who conduct
paid research under his or her guidance. We present our yearly
research
every spring at a
banquet
where Intel representatives visit their sponsored scholars.
The program
hosts three educational and developmental workshops per semester, it
organizes weekly lab tours, it gives academic support through tutoring and
mentoring and it networks the students with Intel. Two of our alumni have
found jobs at Intel.
