To be eligible, students must be engineering sciences majors in the AB and/or BE program or be a Partner School Dual-Degree program student at Dartmouth/Thayer School and be US citizens or permanent residents. Students must have an advisor at Thayer School.

Applications will be reviewed by a committee composed of the senior associate dean for academic affairs, the department chair, and the BE program chair.

Students will submit a final report to the Thayer faculty mentor and to the Mazilu family at the conclusion of the research experience. This report will be written in the established Thayer thesis format; there is no page limit for this report. A final culminating presentation is also required, whereby the student will present his/her research to the selection committee, highlighting the goals of the research, significant results, and implications for future research. The Mazilu family will make every possible effort to attend this presentation.
