DCS Summer 2012 Research Awards

General information

The Department of Computer Science will be participating in the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) Program for the summer of 2012.

Here are the detailed DCS USRA applications instructions.

Project Descriptions

The following projects need students to work on them. If you are interested in applying for one or more of these, please visit the above link and follow the instructions.

You may be contacted by potential supervisors for an interview, and they might ask for a resume or some other documentation. If you submit your application early, that will give them (and you) more time to go through this process.

This list is likely to be added to until Monday 31 January.
