Research Opportunities in Penn Engineering

The Research Opportunities in Penn Engineering (ROPE) program provides matching monetary support for SEAS undergraduates who are working on research activities with SEAS faculty members during the summer. Students may apply for match funding in any amount, up to a maximum of $2,000. A limited amount of funding is available and therefore we will only be able to fund a limited number of projects.

ROPE funds may be used for summer earnings support or for disposable supplies. (NOTE: ONLY disposable supplies will be supported by ROPE. Durable items such as computers, software, and equipment may not be purchased with ROPE funds.)

To apply, please download and complete the Application: ROPE Application

In order to complete an application you will first need to talk to a faculty member (possibly one of your course instructors in an engineering course) and find a research project that is of mutual interest.

Application deadline: Friday, March 28, 2008, 5:00 PM.

Applicants will be notified by no later than Friday, April 11, 2008.
