Please share this opportunity for an NSF-supported summer undergraduate research experience with students in your program. Our overall goal is to create interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty from engineering, social sciences, and business/economics to research specific problems related to sustainability. Our Sustainable Futures Model focuses on research and education in four areas: (1) environmental systems, (2) industrial systems, (3) societal systems, and (4) integrative initiatives that join all three of these areas.
Another unique aspect of this REU Site is that students can elect to perform their research at either Michigan Technological University (Houghton, Michigan) or Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, Louisiana).
