The UF Summer Research Experience was a special opportunity for high school students to get involved in STEM-related research at UF. The two-week virtual research experience provided insight into two potential future fields of study for the students: robotics & artificial intelligence.
The ECE department recently added academic tracks to its graduate curriculum. This pilot program offers students the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of electrical and computer engineering—an incredibly broad and expansive field—without the addition of a minor or a certificate of study.
