1. SHINE is good for the next generation of engineers.
2. SHINE students are top notch — With an average GPA of 3.7, these dedicated students have a driving enthusiasm for research. See their final posters here.
3. Your Ph.D. student(s) will earn a $2,000 stipend for mentoring a SHINE student for 20 hours/week for seven weeks (June 18 – August 3, 2018). This includes mentoring/support of the Ph.D. students by Dr. Katie Mills. Your Ph.D. students gain valuable broader impacts experience.
4. In 2018, your Ph.D. student mentors will only work 20 hours/week — no more extended research hours for SHINE students.
5. You receive $500 in M&S for each SHINE student.
6. You review and accept/reject each student from a pre-screened portfolio of qualified applicants.
7. Labs can take two SHINE students with two separate Ph.D. student mentors (each paid $2,000).
8. SHINE is a successful, well-liked program by the SHINE students, their parents, and Ph.D. student mentors.
