Undergraduate engineering summer research opportunities

<p>I am a sophomore EE major @ Hofstra and I am looking for research opportunities in engineering during the summer. It sucks that my current school is very limited in this field, so I was looking into possibly doing it at another school.</p>

<p>I heard that a lot of schools out there offer summer research programs to undergrad students, and they even pay a stipend (I heard it could be around $5,000 for 8-10 weeks). Does anyone here know of any programs, and whether they are worthwhile? Also, I don't care if I have to travel far, I would actually rather get off Long Island.</p>

<p>You should be looking into REU 2008. You're already behind the curve as far as applying, so you better hurry up.</p>
