University of Florida is currently recruiting undergrad international students for this summer Chemical Engineering/Data Science workshop!

Chemical Engineering: The Short Course of Semiconductor Fabrication Techniques and Unit Operations will last for three weeks, from Jul. 22nd to Aug. 11th. The class will include 2 sessions of lectures, 4 sessions of experiments, 2 sessions of continuous distillations, 2 sessions of filtration, and 2 sessions for presentation. Overall the course will meet the requirements for hands-on competency in the practice of advanced Chemical Engineering skills and academic writing courses in the engineering field. This program is targeted at international students who seek a short-term educational experience in the US. Students who satisfactorily complete the program will receive a certificate from Chemical Engineering Department. Students will get recommendation letters based on successful performance.
Importantly, the program provides the opportunity for students to visit UF research laboratories and work with the UF course staff. Students may discuss future MS and PhD opportunities with the department and university. Our program aims to help international students to learn theoretical knowledge, develop research ideas and skills, and improve their opportunities for successful application to US Graduate Schools. While on campus, students may meet with other faculty and visit ongoing classes and research labs at UF.

Data Science: The Short Course of Data Science will last for three weeks, from Jul. 23rd to Aug. 12th. This workshop provides students with an introduction to a wide range of concepts, theories, and practical techniques in data science. Data science or data-driven science is an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods, processes, and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured. Data and data analysis are essential components in a wide range of fields. It is critical for students to understand and gain practical experience with the entire life cycle of data, from data collection to data analysis to the dissemination and archiving of valuable results. In this workshop, students will be introduced to the broad landscape of data science. Students will learn to design and implement computerized databases for data collection, perform basic queries and prepare the data for analytical tasks, and understand basic data analytical skills. This workshop will be a foundation for students who are interested in becoming data scientists.
