Intel Fellowship

Intel Summer Research Fellowship Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering 

UROP's Intel Summer Research Fellowship Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering provides a $4200 stipend for undergraduate researchers to conduct research full-time (40 hours/week), for 12 weeks, May-August. Students work under the supervision of a University of Michigan faculty member in fields such as electrical engineering and computer science with an emphasis on research relevant to the semi-conductor industry. We will work with you to find faculty researchers conducting research in this area.

This fellowship program is funded by the Intel Foundation an affiliate of the Intel Corporation. Intel is the leading producer of microchips, computing, and communications products. The following are areas of interest to the Intel Corporation and they are seeking individuals interested in these areas and is pursuing advanced education in these areas.
