Commitment to Diversity: TTE REU is committed to broadening participation in science and engineering. We strongly encourage students from historically under-represented groups in science and engineering to apply to our internship program, including students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, women, veterans, underrepresented minorities, students with disabilities, and/or first-generation college students. Our program is designed to promote future student success by providing support through mentoring, research training, and various networking activities.
