Design Squad for IKEA

Design Squad is seeking candidates ages 18-19 who are passionate about engineering and are excited to spend the months of June through August in Boston (and traveling as well) tackling design challenges and competing for the $10,000 prize.

Produced by WGBH-Boston for PBS, the program's goal is to get viewers excited about engineering and the design process. Contestants tackle engineering challenges for real world clients - such as creating cardboard furniture projects for IKEA or designing a gravity bike (no pedals or cranks!) for Extreme Game champion Tom Whalen.

Money for housing is provided. Contestants are paid -- so not only is this a unique opportunity, it also qualifies as a summer job! We are seeking a diverse pool of young men and women -- we will ultimately choose 3 guys and 3 gals. Please urge any kid you know who is passionate about engineering and building things to apply.

A link to the application can be found at pbs.org/designsquad Deadline is Friday, April 11.

Milwaukee School of Engineering - Summer 2008 Research Opportunity for Undergraduates

Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is seeking college students to participate in an innovative research program that focuses on solid freeform applications in the aerospace, architectural, biomedical, biomolecular, manufacturing and electronics industries from June 1 through August 9 2008. We are seeking undergraduates from engineering, computer science and science-based curriculums.

Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) is an important developing technology that enables the fabrication of custom objects with novel properties directly from computer data. The basic operation of any SFF system consists of slicing a 3-D computer model into thin cross sections, translating the result into 2-D position information, and using this data to control the placement of solid material. This process is repeated for each cross section and the object is built up one layer at a time. The additive nature of SFF techniques offers great promise for producing objects with unique material combinations and geometries which could not be attained by traditional manufacturing methods. The MSOE Rapid Prototyping Center is the only university that has a laboratory devoted to all five commercially-available rapid prototyping systems - stereolithography (SLA), laminated object manufacturing (LOM), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), Z-Corp processing.

Eligibility: To be considered students must have completed their sophomore year of an engineering, pre-engineering, computer science or science (physics, chemistry, biology, etc) based curriculum; be enrolled in a university for the fall term; and be a full-time student with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or greater. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Women, minorities and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. No experience in rapid prototyping is required.

To apply, send the following information to Ann Bloor, MSOE, 1025 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202. Application materials must be received by Monday, March 10, 2008. Only complete applications will be reviewed.

* One-page cover letter
   * One-page resume
   * One-page statement indicating your interest in rapid prototyping & undergraduate research, and why you should be selected as a participant
   * Three (3) letters of reference (at least two from previous or current faculty)
   * University transcripts from each university attended.

All participants receive a $3,605.00 stipend and a travel allowance. On campus room and board is provided. Visit our website for more information on this exciting program. This REU program is funded by the National Science Foundation.
