We understand that the new generation of engineers want to work on compelling, societal-scale problems, and autonomous cars are certainly fall into that category. Almost all applicants to the program will have a driver's license, but this not a constraint in getting involved in research projects that requires designing algorithms to address the computation, communication, and control aspects of the connected and autonomous vehicle technology. Accepted students will be working with (full-size) robotic car, which is part of the active research portfolio of the PI, and has been used to design student research topics. Various interfaces to the vehicle will be exposed, enabling students to work on specific projects that analyze data while the car is in use, or that carry out experiments with the car.
We want your application! You can start the application process now, and assemble your final materials later. If you start your application process early, we can remind you as the deadline approaches. The application process involves:
- Filling out the application with readily available information (GPA, courses taken, address, etc.)
- Visiting the site later to submit additional materials (statement of purpose, unofficial transcript, names of letter writers, etc.)
- Reminding your letter writers to submit their recommendations.

This REU site will support 10 students over the summer. Each student will receive:
- Stipend of $5,000 over the summer
- Housing and $600 travel allowance to Tucson, AZ
- Letters of recommendation from their faculty mentors
Students will participate as researchers for the summer, working side by side with graduate researchers and faculty who are experts in cognitive radio and autonomous ground vehicles. Want to know more about what the REU is like? Check out the videos made by previous CAT Vehicle participants.
