The Institute for Matter and Systems at the Georgia Institute of Technology (IMS) and the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University hosts the Southeastern Undergraduate Internship in Nanotechnology (SUIN) REU program. SUIN will provide undergraduates the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research at the forefront of nanoscale science and engineering (NSE). This interdisciplinary field will allow students to see the connections across all science and engineering disciplines and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. IMS and JSNN make up the Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC), a node of the NSF-funded National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). The world-class nanofabrication and characterization facilities, in addition to the faculty advisors, graduate student mentors, and staff of SENIC, will provide interns with an unparalleled research experience. The SUIN program targets undergraduate STEM students, especially those from non-PhD-granting institutions, and those with little or no research experience. Recruitment will focus on institutions in the southeast US, including Puerto Rico, as this is SENIC’s primary service area. The SUIN program objectives are to: 1. Provide an experiential research project with training on advanced equipment and tools that exposes interns to nanoscale science and engineering 2. Encourage interns to pursue careers and graduate-level research in STEM and nanoscale science and engineering 3. Enhance student communication and presentation skills 4. Train interns in science communication, entrepreneurship, and the societal and ethical implications of nanoscale science and engineering
