Access to Careers in Engineering and Sciences (ACES) HBCU Undergraduate Summer Training Program
June 26 – August 18, 2023
Every summer, 10 talented undergraduate students from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are selected to travel across the country to attend Access to Careers in Engineering and Sciences (ACES), an eight-week summer training program at UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic. ACES introduces high-achieving, underrepresented students to the breadth of UCI graduate programs in the fields of biomedical engineering, biophotonics and related science, technology, engineering and math disciplines.
ACES students:
- work alongside faculty mentors who are leaders in their field
- conduct leading-edge research in Institute facilities and labs
- learn about careers in academia and industry
- attend workshops on taking the GRE, writing a personal statement and preparing for graduate school
- make connections valuable to gaining admission to graduate school
