TI Summer Programming

The mission of the Templeton Institute is to enable connections, experimentation, innovation, and discovery through integrative coursework, projects, and research to promote the integration of engineering and computer science with the liberal arts at Union. The TI is excited to announce support for up to 4 research students for Summer 2024. We are interested in supporting projects that explore the critical TI goal of integrating engineering and computer science with the liberal arts.

We will support students at the 4, 6, or 8-week lengths. Applications should be submitted using the summer research application form and follow the proposal guidelines outlined on the undergraduate research website. Please indicate on the form if you are applying as a TI-related research project.

Our guidelines are:

1. TI support is open to all students and faculty
2. Minimum of 1 student and 1 faculty advisor, but projects with more than 2 team members are especially encouraged
3. At least 1 team member (student or faculty) based in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities and at least 1 team member (student or faculty) based in engineering or computer science
4. Supported projects will combine the interests and methods of the sciences, social sciences, or humanities with those of engineering or computer science
   Examples of integrative topics include natural language processing, gaming, digital citizenship, music technology, digital arts, transportation, rebuilding infrastructure, implications of artificial intelligence, applications of virtual reality, automation, risks and potential of climate engineering, and food sustainability.
