Expeditions in Computing RET is a year-long program that focuses on health technologies and is open to mathematics and computer science of all grade levels. Participants are matched to a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher mentor who can help guide their research.
To engage high school students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the Rice Office of STEM Engagement (R-STEM) launched the Computing for Health Academy, which addresses diabetes and heart issues, and shows students how computer science can be used to improve the health of people in under served communities.
Rice ECE faculty have coordinated to offer more than 80 remote research positions for undergraduates and professional masters students during Summer 2020, nearly tripling the number of summer research positions from previous summers.
