The Intelligent and Scalable Systems REU Site, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and hosted by the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University, provides undergraduate students from across the country with an opportunity to learn how to harness the incredible potential of machine learning and the unprecedented power of modern parallel compute resources, and to use their knowledge and experience to invent new systems and algorithms that are infused with intelligence and capable of solving pressing societal problems.

​

Our REU site provides every student with a deliberate program of research and study, and pairs each student with a dedicated faculty mentor. In addition, we have prepared a series of seminars and tutorials designed to ensure that every participant will be ready to collaborate, knowledgeable about the key concepts and technologies in modern intelligent and scalable systems, and inspired to pursue further education and life-long careers in Computer Science.

• We welcome applications from undergraduate students who are US citizens and permanent residents.
• We are particularly interested in applicants who come from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in computer science and engineering (low-income, ethnic and racial minorities, first generation college students, and women). If you are a member of one or more of these groups, please highlight this in your personal statement.
• Note that applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents to apply. Students must also be currently enrolled in an undergraduate college or university. High school students or college students that have graduated before this experience are not eligible.
