SuperUROP Overview

2

• Year-long UROP / research project

for SoE juniors and seniors

• Development of technical

communications skills through

6.UAR deliverables:

• NSF-style professional proposal

• Oral presentation of proposal

• Poster presentation of results

• Journal-style paper

• Lectures featuring guest speakers

from academia and industry

• Recitations for smaller-group work

on communication skills

• Serves as a launch pad to academia,

research, industry, start-ups

SuperUROP Benefits

“With what I learned during this class

and relationships I developed with the

research group, I have been able to

strengthen my MEng project and

accelerate the completion

of my degree. SuperUROP has been

an exceptional experience.”

SuperUROP Components

SuperUROP is a two-semester integrated experience

with two separate but related components. Both are

required for enrollment. Note: Doing a standard UROP prior to enrollment is also required.

1. Research Communication – class deliverables

• Enrollment in 6.UAR Fall and Spring – 6 units per semester

2. Research Execution – 10 hours / week per semester • Qualifying projects/students are named scholars (generously

funded by gifts from industry and alumni)

or

• Projects done with non-participating departments can apply for

standard UROP funding

or

• Students can take the program for credit.

Advanced Undergraduate Research

Certificate

• Note: 10 hrs/week research is in addition to the 6.UAR class and deliverables.

• Certificate in Advanced Undergraduate Research will be awarded for

completion of 6.UAR (12 units) plus advanced research project.

• For EECS Only: 6.UAR (12 units) can be used to satisfy second EECS CI-M.

• Other departments: Please check with your UG office.

2018-2019 Payment Plan

• Each selected student receives up to $3k per term.

• Payment is distributed based on time-card submissions with supervisor sign-off of hours spent on research.

Payments will be based on actual time spent on research, limited to 40 hours a month.

Students submit weekly time cards to department payroll administrators.

• Payments are discontinued students drop 6.UAR or if a student becomes G and takes on a TA/RA.

Note: You are welcome to continue working with your advisor during IAP (as a volunteer or for pay if the group can support it).

SuperUROP Success

“SuperUROP allowed me

to immerse myself in

research. The support

from the EECS

department and the

program’s organization

were huge in making my

experience the best it

could be. I’m so excited to

take the skills and

experience I gained

through the SuperUROP

program with me into

graduate school.”
