Anyway, I'd like to research more about encryption, data assurance, and securing networks from outside intrusions. I guess picking a main focus data assurance / encryption would be areas I'd be most interest in.
How about yourself?
Sounds interesting, if it were possible for me to manage a double major I definitely would probably look into CS which covers a lot of what you mentioned (or I think it does at least..).
As for me, I'm currently an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering major. I honestly have no clue what I would specifically like to focus on, which could potentially be a problem. I find so much of it interesting that I can't really decide what I like the most haha
sdgz - that REU that you participated in, was it through the NNIN? I'm currently filling out the application (which is due in a few days..) to apply for the REU through the NNIN. I really have no experience with nano-technology whatsoever, but I would like to learn more about it, and the impression that I got from the website was that it encourages students in my situation to apply. If that was the program that you participated in, would you recommend it?
Also, alongside with the REU programs, does anyone know of any schools that have an REU program related to automotives? I know Auburn had one last summer, but they said that they are no longer having a program for Summer 2010. I'm interested in automotives, but haven't come across any Undergraduate Research programs dealing with that.
