NYU Tandon School of Engineering – Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE)
Discover a transformative learning experience at NYU's ARISE program, an opportunity-based initiative designed to immerse students in STEM. This ten-week program includes: a high level, six-week authentic research experience in participating NYU faculty labs, mentoring in that placement by a graduate or postdoctoral student, a stipend of at least $1000 for completing the program, as well as four-week workshops, and college advisement and other activities geared to preparing ARISE students for the college application process. In the workshops, students will be introduced to the field of scientific ethics, contemporary issues in scientific inquiry, data collection and analysis, research practices, lab safety, and more.
With their mentors, ARISE participants will spend the latter five weeks of the program in their labs where they will make practical, substantive contributions to the lab’s research objectives, which span engineering, life sciences, and computer and data sciences. Check out the Research Opportunities section to learn more about the research going on in the over 30 ARISE labs and the professors who oversee the work.
Students will also receive training in presentation and public speaking skills, in collaboration with ARISE’s partners at Irondale Ensemble Project, and give their research findings at the program’s concluding colloquium (archival page) to NYU faculty and graduate students, their peer ARISE p
