Conducting research alongside Notre Dame faculty is a great way to gain valuable hands-on experience that can enhance your career prospects and/or higher education aspirations.
The College of Engineering offers its own summer research experience program, E‑SURE, and numerous other summer opportunities are available at Notre Dame.
Explore your options below and apply now for Summer 2024.
E-SURE – Engineering SUmmer Undergraduate Research Experience
The College of Engineering’s undergraduate research opportunity program, E-SURE, gives undergraduates many opportunities each summer to experience hands-on research.
The program offers a variety of research projects to choose from, including (in 2024) immune mechanics, wearable robots, hurricane simulation, bioinspired robots, manufacturing processes, soft materials, earthquake resistant structures, computer architecture and more!
You’ll join a community of scholars and work alongside experienced faculty members conducting research that could pave the way for future breakthroughs in your field. You’ll also collaborate with other driven students and learn about graduate student opportunities and how to apply for graduate fellowships.
