Update (03/06/26): We will not be able to run the REU Site in Summer 2026 due to the funding issue. Please keep an eye on our program for the future. The GLWind REU Site program aims to provide excellent research opportunities to U.S. undergraduate students in wind energy for 10 weeks in Summer 2026 (05/26-08/01), pending NSF’s final approval of REU site renewal. REU students will join research groups with 10 faculty mentors at the National Wind Institute (NWI) of Texas Tech University (TTU) in Lubbock, Texas, and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio. Ten REU students will work closely with diverse faculty mentors from mechanical, civil and environmental, and aerospace engineering, as well as Industrial leaders and fellow students. The GLWind REU site will support ten undergraduate students for a ten-week summer research consisting of (i) participation in ongoing wind energy research in learning and research communities at TTU and CWRU, (ii) weekly seminars on wind research frontier and professional development, (iii) field visits of utility-scale wind turbines on the CWRU campus, and (iv) research communication/dissemination at Summer Intersection poster competition, professional conferences, and the potential participation in the DOE Collegian Wind Competition. The GLWind REU program offers: 10-week intensive, mentored summer research training in wind energy-related research; A stipend of $6,700, free on-campus housing at TTU/CWRU, a $300 food allowance, up to $500 for travel between Lubbock/Cleveland and his/her home city, and up to $600 in conference travel funds for presenting summer REU work; Exposure to a wide variety of research projects and peers from different backgrounds; Professional development and career-building activities, including oral/poster presentations, scientific research ethics, seminars, and graduate school applications.
