What's New

The Virginia Tech College of Engineering is excited to continue its US National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported programs for a paid opportunity for US students (US citizen, national, or permanent resident) enrolled at a US university for research at France’s Grenoble Institute of Technology for about 8 weeks in summer 2023. Research topics will be related to cybersecurity, control, and communication for the power system and inverter-based resources.

Students will receive research mentorship from our Grenoble colleagues (Prof. Nouredine Hadjsaid, Prof. Jean-Luc Schanen, and team), visit several partner industries, take French language courses, attend seminars, participate in professional development workshops and cultural events, and present their research results in a mini-symposium.

Clarkson University is hosting an NSF REU program "Summer Research Experience on Resilient Carbon-Free U.S. Electric Power Systems":

Currently, we are seeking applicants for the 2023 Summer in engineering and related majors who have completed at least one year of their studies.  The NSF summer program provides excellent benefits to students including $600/week research stipend, $120/week food stipend, free on-campus housing, and round-trip travel to and from Clarkson.   Applications are made through the website, and we have potential research projects posted there as well.

Undergraduates from all majors are invited to submit abstracts for presentation of scholarly works at the Seventh Annual Undergraduate Spring Symposium on Sunday, April 23rd, 2023 at the WVU Mountainlair, 12:30 - 5 PM. 

The next issue of JNCHC (deadline: March 1, 2023) invites research essays on any topic of interest to the honors community.

The issue will also include a Forum focused on the theme “Regime Change in Honors,” in which we welcome perspectives, insights, and analytical narratives about the impact that changes in higher administration have on the success or hardships of honors. We invite essays of roughly 1000-2000 words that consider this theme in a practical and/or theoretical context.
