“Resilient and sustainable building (RSB)” is a collaborative NSF-funded research project at VT to develop a comprehensive framework for the early design of mid-rise office buildings. The main goal of this project is to optimize office buildings performance in terms of economic constraints and environmental impacts.

This summer, RSB is offering 4 paid undergraduate research positions to help with two ongoing thrusts of the project: structural analysis under natural hazards and environmental life cycle assessment. The anticipated duration of REU is 8 weeks and the interested applicants should be US citizen or permanent residents and enrolled in a US undergraduate program related to civil engineering, construction or architecture for Fall 2019.   

The flyer below provides basic information regarding these positions. Interested applicants are encouraged to use this link to apply or contact me directly for additional information.
