Entrepreneurial initiative is encouraged. The student team may include up to three students and must be led by a student from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Both undergraduate and graduate students may be involved. The project must be supervised by a faculty member. The nominal funding period is two years, although, depending on merit, it can be extended.
Shorter periods are also acceptable.
Funds may be used for supplies and equipment, but may not be used for salaries, stipends, or travel. The budget must be justified. Successful applicants may propose budget revisions during the conduct of the work. We believe, however, that these will not significantly restrict student initiative. The student team may include up to three students and must be led by a student from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
