Programs REU for EE major that wants to get into applied semiconductor physics

AI Thread Summary
For an electrical engineering major interested in applied semiconductor physics and photonics, seeking Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs is essential. The individual is pursuing a dual major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, with minors in chemistry and physics, and is eager to enhance their academic background with relevant coursework. Recommendations include consulting professors in the field for guidance on potential REU opportunities, particularly in the Midwest, but also considering national programs. Engaging with academic advisors and utilizing online resources can provide valuable leads on suitable REU programs.

REU for EE major that wants to get into applied semiconductor physics...

hello, I am a dual major in EE and compE, with minors in both chemistry and physics (3 credits away from the chem minor, and I would like to take quantum mechanics, contemporary physics, and solid state physics, which will also get me a physics minor). I am interested in getting into applied semiconductor physics, or maybe photonics, and would be interested in a good REU. I am located in Michigan. Does anyone know of any good EE engineering REU programs located in the Midwest area? If not, does anyone know of any REU programs nationally? I would be willing to travel outside of the midwest.

Any insight regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Have you talked to any of the professors at your school who are in that field? I'd recommend starting there.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
