honors summer institute

The FURI Honors Summer Institute is a new initiative sponsored by the Ira A. Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative (FURI) to engage incoming engineering honors freshman. The institute will provide 19 incoming students with the opportunity to participate in a two-week commuter program. This program is intended to acclimate students to the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and Barrett, The Honors College. Students will attend an introductory honors class, have meetings with their respective departments, work on a research project, interact with current engineering honors students and learn about campus resources and the culture of ASU.

Students in the FURI Honors Summer Institute will work on a team research project, which will allow the students to participate in the FURI Research Symposium in fall 2010. The symposium is a poster presentation of undergraduate student research. Student research will also be included in the bi-annual FURI abstract book.
