IPAM Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS)Summer 2001Director: Consultant: Faculty Advisor: Comments from RIPS 2001 Graduates The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics sponsored a highly successful program, Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS), based on the Math Clinic concept that originated at Harvey Mudd College in 1973 as well as the well established Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Following an extensive national search and selection process, twelve students were selected for the 2001 program. In the RIPS program, these teams of students, directed by faculty advisors, work to solve industry-related problems. RIPS brings together highly qualified undergraduates in mathematics or related majors with sponsoring industry, government, and nonprofit organizations to collaborate on projects. Each team of three advanced students spends two summer months working on a problem posed by the sponsoring organization under the leadership of a faculty advisor. At regular intervals during the two-month period, oral and written presentations reporting on the progress of the team are made. Company liaisons provide regular contact between the team and the sponsor, monitoring and helping to guide the work effort.
