CMU is offering a summer REU (research experience for undergraduates). Spend the summer working with some of the leading software engineering faculty reearchers. They are especially interested in recruiting undergrads traditionally underrepresented in computer science, and first- and second-year students. See https://www.isri.cmu.edu/education/reu-se/ for more information.
Students currently in their junior year of college (from any major) are eligible to apply to two distinct paid summer fellowships hosted by CMU’s Heinz College:
