program which avoids allfour of the challenges cited above. In particular, the French Institute Polytechnique de Lyon(IPL) offers five week summer programs with the following features: (1) Five week summer program in June-July avoids conflict with US academic calendars (2) French language courses are offered at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels, so any interested students qualify (3) All language and laboratory instruction is provided by French personnel, so no US faculty presence and salary are required, and (4) The net summer cost is basically the price of the US/France air ticket. The tuition is free, and academic credit is transferable (7 units at NCSU). Housing and local

engineering disciplines. EnSURE is a program for high-achievingundergraduates, with a 3.20 minimum GPA required of applicants. Every student is paired with afaculty mentor, and most work in research groups or laboratories that include a variety of faculty,postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate research assistants. EnSUREparticipants are expected to work full time (40 hours/week) on research during the 10-weekprogram, and are compensated at an hourly rate.In addition to students’ research activities, they are required to participate in weekly professionaldevelopment seminars and complete a number of writing assignments. Figure 1 summarizes thecalendar of activities and assignments for EnSURE students. Previous research and

these groups. Insome institutions, it is common for graduate students to take courses outside of their departmentor college; in other programs, graduate students are not allowed to enroll in courses outside theirmajor or college.Another important question to answer during your visit or conversations is what kind of workingenvironments (office, lab, classroom, etc.) are typical for graduate students pursuing the researchor degree that interests you at that institution. Pursuing a graduate degree in engineering isdifferent than being an undergraduate; many graduate students find that their research andcoursework is more like having a job than being a student. Thus it is critical that you like thepeople in the research group or laboratory you are

Include posters presented at undergraduate research forums; presentations made as part of co-op experiences or internships; and technical papers that have been accepted, submitted or are in preparation. Indicate co-authors as appropriate.  Skills: if you are applying to a graduate program where specialized skills would be desirable, it might be appropriate to list them in a separate section. Examples might include experience with laboratory equipment, testing techniques, or
