Translational Ecology for Undergraduates Program Gain knowledge, skills and appreciation for ecology! Title: Translational Ecology for Undergraduates

Since 2011 the Cary REU program has embraced a new focus – Translational Ecology. We hope to train a new generation of environmental scientists who are both prepared and motivated to translate ecological science to the public.

Working closely with a mentor scientist, students delineate a research question and hypotheses, develop and implement a project, analyze data, give an oral presentation in a formal symposium and write a paper. Skill building workshops support student learning. The bulk of students’ time is spent in this facet of the program.

Students participate in a Scientific Writing Workshop, a Statistics/R Workshop, Responsible Conduct of Research trainings, and sessions in asking good questions, applying theory in research, giving effective talks, and future options in work and study. The Forum on Translational Ecology showcases examples of translational ecology in action, as well as a diversity of professional role models and careers. Students are supported in reflecting on themselves as scientists and translators of science.

The program runs from May 22 - August 11, 2017
The deadline is FEBRUARY 3, 2017

Benefits include:
  • A stipend of $6,300 
  • Housing in the Bacon Flats dormitory located on our campus just next door to the research and administration building 
  • A food allowance of $900 for the 12 week program.
Students studying these fields are encouraged to apply (other majors are also considered; see the program's website to find out if this is right for you):
  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science
  • Biological Sciences

ASPIRE focuses its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program on research in the rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology fields. Rehabilitation engineering employs a systematic approach to the design, modification, customization and/or fabrication of assistive technology for persons with disabilities. Research efforts in rehabilitation engineering are focused on identifying and addressing problems critical to achieving and maintaining the highest possible level of function in areas related to mobility, communications, sensory (e.g., hearing, tactile, vision), and cognition and in activities associated with employment, independent living, and education. The primary objective of the ASPIRE REU program is to provide an exemplary mentoring and resourceful environment that enables undergraduate students to 1) transition from dependent to independent thinkers, 2) develop a sense of excitement about entering an engineering or technical field 3) and be well prepared for their future careers. 

Program 2: Quality of Life Technology Research Experience for Undergraduates (QoLT REU)

 The mission of Quality of Life Technology research is to transform lives of people with reduced functional capabilities due to aging or disability through intelligent devices and systems. The program is a unique partnership between Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Pittsburgh, integrating CMU’s strength in the design, implementation, and technology transfer of intelligent systems, and Pitt’s strength in rehabilitation, health sciences and aging research. The primary objectives of QoLT REU are to excite undergraduate students about technology and engineering, engage them in cross-disciplinary research in QoLT to gain understanding of how to relate human functions (physiological, physical, social, and cognitive) to the design of intelligent devices and systems that aid and interact with people, expand their knowledge of emerging technologies in QoLT, and prepare them for graduate studies or professional careers in QoLT.

The program runs May 22, 2017 – July 28, 2017
The deadline is February 24, 2017

No particular background is required. Some examples of past participants' academic backgrounds include: 
  • All domains of engineering, 
  • Computer Science, 
  • Rehabilitation Science, 
  • Exercise Physiology, 
  • Psychology,

Ephesians 5:18-20 (NLT) - “Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) - “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Our lives are filled with so much activity and demands. Our focus is on our problems, our needs, and ourselves. We have to go to work, finish our homework, take care the children, eat, sleep, etc. These are all the stuff of daily life on this earth. We can live forgetting who we are and live as if God is not real. God calls us to sing to Him. The Bible contains over 400 references to singing and 50 direct commands to sing. In the book of psalms, a collection of songs was used in various occasions and seasons of life.

We are commanded to sing! It doesn’t matter so much whether you have a good voice or not, if you are tone deaf, or the style of music. We sing because the Spirit of God is alive in us. We sing because of what Jesus Christ has done. As we do, we come alive to the reality of the Kingdom of God, the reality of eternity,  the reality of heaven and God’s great love for us.

God sings His love and delight over us! What a way to express His love for us! Let’s sing to our God in response to His great love for us. Let’s proclaim His worth with our songs and with the whole of our lives!

-DP
