This summer program at the University of Connecticut is offering research opportunities to engineering students with ADHD.
Why such a selective applicant pool?
The program believes that such students will use their creativity and willingness to take risks to find solutions to problems related to cyber and physical security of critical infrastructure. These students' unique experiences in engineering education and research settings will also encourage future focus on incorporating non-traditional, underrepresented groups in engineering disciplines.
