Caltech summer programs

Caltech's WAVE Fellows program aims to foster diversity by increasing the participation of underrepresented students in science and engineering Ph.

The program is extended, but not limited, to underrepresented minorities, women in certain fields , first-generation college students, geographically underrepresented students, educationally or financially disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities. This program is open only to visiting non-Caltech students. The Amgen Scholars program provides visiting non-Caltech students the opportunity to conduct research in biology, chemistry, and bio-technical related fields under the guidance of a Caltech faculty mentor.

The start date must be earlier than the end date. The hour should be entered as a number from For example, if you want to look at data from August 1st, at 5pm to August 4th, at 3am you would type into the command window: OctoprogramTimeCheckFunc , 08, 1, 17, , 08, 4, 3.

If you requested this time span, but august 3rd was missing, then in the command window you would see a statement that this data was not plotted, though the rest of the data will be plotted. If there is an anomaly in the time span that you requested, you will get an error message telling you the time at which the anomaly occurs but the data will still be plotted.

I would recommend not plotting any data before August 13th, because the data before this has a lot of anomalies which can make the program not work. Edit lines 19 through 27 to define the start and end times. Output of both OctoprogramTimeCheckFunc.

The user can check any desired time span of environmental sensor data with these programs. Right now, people only care about the temperature, humidity and pressure data it acquires, whereas the acceleration data is not accurate enough to be considered. When you run the program, eight BME sensors measure the temperature, humidity and pressure data at the locations that are most sensitive to environmental changes inside the HCST.

These sensors measure humidity with 0. Participants are placed in research labs at Caltech where they conduct scientific research in assigned student-teacher teams under the guidance of research mentors. In and , SRC was operated remotely. Seminar presentations given by the high school research interns at the end of the six-week research program are featured on our Youtube channel:. To get into this program, you will have to go through a competitive application process.
