The Innovative Vector Solutions Lab develops novel arthropod vector trapping and control devices to collect and repel mosquitoes of medical importance (vectors of diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika and Malaria).

The lab is currently recruiting undergraduate students to join our lab to continue the development of our rotating mosquito trap, which collects mosquitoes at programmable times. There is the option to do a Barrett honors thesis.

Motivated students with a background in mechanical or electrical engineering and with expertise in one of the following areas are welcome to apply:

• 3D CAD modeling and design.
• Designing circuits and micro-controller programming.
• Physics.

What is FURI? The Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative (FURI) is designed to enhance your engineering and technical undergraduate curriculum by providing hands-on lab experience, independent and thesis-based research, and travel to national conferences. The Master’s Opportunity for Research in Engineering (MORE) is a similar program designed to enrich a graduate student’s engineering and technical graduate curriculum with hands-on lab experience and independent and thesis-based research.

Why should I do it? Having research experience will add value to your résumé and increase your opportunity to find a job.

Join us to explore research opportunities, learn how to get started and get details about participating as an international student.

2–4 p.m.
Peralta Hall (PRLTA) 103, Polytechnic campus [map]

This session is hosted by Ban Faris from the International Students and Scholars Center and presented by Timothy Rooney, associate director of Academic Achievement and Student Success.

In a question and answer session from 3–4 p.m., the presenters will also answer questions about the Fulton Schools student resources page, how you can customize your experience and off-campus authorization for international students (CPT and OPT).

The EPICS Program engages students in a year-long, extensive design project working with an international team of interdisciplinary students. Students will learn human-centered design and social innovation through the development of a real-world solution to difficult community challenges. The two semesters of one or two-credit hour design-based service-learning courses will culminate in an intensive experience of design collaboration, rapid prototyping, field testing, and cultural immersion in Vietnam and Spain.

These global education programs run twice per academic year. The Pre-Spring Vietnam program will run from Wednesday, December 28, 2022–Saturday, January 7, 2022, and the Spring Break Spain program will run from Saturday, March 4, 2022–Saturday, March 11, 2022. Priority will be given to current/former students in the EPICS program. 

Interested in applying? Join us for a brief information session.
