- The student will need to write a 1-page proposal about the research problem and research objective, after discussing his/her research ideas with the supervising professors.
- It is expected that the student will be attached to a professor/research lab. The prior approval/agreement of which should be obtained by the students.
- There will be a compulsory poster presentation at the end of the summer for students to present their research results. Awards will be given to the top 10% projects assessed by a committee.
