Anti-ballistic missile systems, computer vision, and robots are just a few of the projects that the first “SPUR” interns will work on at Johns Hopkins’ Applied Physics Laboratory this summer under a new program administered by the Whiting School and APL. The Summer Program in Undergraduate Research pairs highly qualified engineering undergraduates with APL mentors for paid summer internships.
This first summer, 11 Whiting School students will take part in the program. SPUR is supported through the generosity of trustee Heather Murren, A&S ’88, and her husband, Jim Murren.
