FALL 2017 OPTIONS

Financial support for those participating in Armour R&D is $11 per hour, with a maximum of $1,100 for the fall. The application should specify whether the project is full-time at 5 or 10 hours per week, and the project description should be consistent with that level of effort.

REQUIREMENTS

Students participating in these programs must fulfill the following requirements:

  • Prepare a final report that describes the research results. The report is due on the last day of the research period (November 18, 2017).
  • Participate in specific Expos in which students present a poster of their research findings.
    • Armour R&D Fall Research Immersion Expo on November 9, 2017
    • 4th Annual Armour R&D Expo to be held in early April 2018
    • Chicago Area Undergraduate Research Symposium (CAURS) to be held in late April 2018
  • Submit a paper to the IIT UG Research Journal. The Faculty advisor is expected to mentor the students in preparing the poster and paper.

Please note that any future Armour R&D awards are contingent on your adherence to these requirements.
