Frequently Asked Questions

Q. what is it like to participate in rips.

A. RIPS students live, work and socialize together over the summer, so they form close professional and personal relationships. Students have an office with a computer and meeting space at IPAM. IPAM provides technical support and occasional guest lectures. Students stay in university housing within walking distance of IPAM and eat most meals on campus. UCLA is located approximately four miles from the Santa Monica beaches and is within close proximity to many popular tourist destinations. Students work hard, but they can also take surfing lessons, tour Hollywood studios, take weekend trips to national parks, and find other ways to enjoy their summer in LA.

Q. What classes should a student have already completed to be adequately prepared for RIPS?

A. The backgrounds of successful applicants vary quite a bit. Most have taken some upper-division math and some computer programming classes. We will consider the courses you have completed to decide which project is right for you; since students work in teams, if you haven’t covered a subject that is relevant to your project, chances are one of the other students has.

Q. I will graduate with my Bachelors Degree this spring; am I eligible to participate in the RIPS program this summer?

A. Yes, we will accept applicants who will complete their bachelor’s degree between December and June of the current academic year.

Q. How should I tell my references to submit their letters?

A. Reference letters need to be uploaded on the MathPrograms webpage. You will be asked to enter your letter writers’ names and email addresses. The system will send them automatic email requests on your behalf, or you can customise the letter sent to them from the application page. You can also track when a letter is uploaded by one of your references.

Q. Is it necessary to submit transcripts with my application?

A. A transcript or academic record (listing your classes and grades) from your undergraduate institution is required, but it can be unofficial. The file submission happens on the application webpage. The application form will ask you to upload your resume/CV and transcript(s). You may submit your application and return to it later to upload one or both documents.

School of Engineering and Materials Science

Undergraduate research posters win prizes at ilf.

18 March 2024

Students from across the School of Engineering and Materials Science, including the Queen Mary Centre for Undergraduate Research (QMCUR), third year BEng students, and the Intercalated BSc in Bioengineering presented their research projects at the Industrial Liaison Forum on 6th March 2024. All students engaged in lively discussion with our academics and external visitors, and received excellent feedback from our judges and industrial collaborators.

QMCUR is a hub of innovation, exploration and academic excellence dedicated to championing undergraduate research endeavours. The Centre aims to foster a culture of curiosity, grassroots research, and discovery, empowering students to delve into real-world challenges, generate meaningful insights, and shape a future with broader perspectives.

Intercalated BSc students study aspects of biomechanics, biomaterials, computational methods in medicine, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, medical imaging and rehabilitation technologies, and apply their knowledge of engineering and materials-based technologies within the clinical environment. The research project accounts for 50% of the final mark and its highly likely the work will contribute to a publication.

The BEng research project has been designed to be a linked design project where students will work individually and as a group to integrate core disciplinary concepts to produce the detailed design of a part of a product or process. Students will bring their individual components together to develop a complex component or process, and need to think creatively to produce an effective design that meets a specification and minimises the cost and environmental impact.

In a 2-hour event, one QMCUR student, Jake Seah, was selected for a prize for the quality and enthusiasm of his presentation on addressing the accessibility issue of the organ-on-a-chip technology, and Intercalated student, Sarina Mathew, was selected for a prize for the quality and enthusiasm of her presentation on incorporating semiconducting materials in silicone so as to produce a flexible substrate to use in light addressable electrochemistry.

Over 20 projects were displayed at the Final Year Student Project Showcase in the morning, where a fantastic selection of posters, table displays and videos were presented by our BEng students. The enthusiasm of the presenting students was noted by our industrial collaborators.

The three winning BEng final year projects were:

Project A6: Digital Additive Manufacturing as an Innovative Materials and Process Advancement;

Project B1: Light-based 3D Printing of Precision Implants Project R1: Design and Development of a Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand with Tactile Sensing and Haptic Feedback

Graduate-level Research in Industrial Projects for Students (GRIPS) – Berlin 2023

• Sponsors and Projects
• Application

Program Overview: Graduate-Level Research in Industrial Projects for Students (G-RIPS) in Berlin will offer graduate students in mathematics and related disciplines the opportunity to work on industry-sponsored research problems. Students from the U.S. and Germany will work on cross-cultural teams on three research problems designed by the industrial sponsor. The projects will be of serious interest to the sponsor and will offer a stimulating challenge to students; most will involve both analytic and computational work. At the end of the program, the teams will present the results of their work and prepare a final report. English is the only language required for participation.

Round-trip travel to Berlin and accommodations in Berlin are included. Students will also receive a meal allowance and a stipend. (These terms apply to U.S. participants recruited by IPAM.)

Information for European students on how to apply will be made available later.
