The Nebula Fellowship is an experiential learning initiative empowering students with data analysis skills through research.
Nebula bridges undergraduate engineering students with graduate-level supervisors to conduct a semester-long research project with data analysis at its center. These research experiences foster essential data science skills, critical thinking, collaboration with academic researchers, and the opportunity to solve real-world problems across various engineering fields.

How Does the Nebula Fellowship Work?
How Does the Nebula Fellowship Work?
UMD undergraduate engineering students are invited to apply each fall and spring semester. If selected, these Nebula Undergraduate Researchers are paired with graduate-level Supervisors from research groups within the UMD Clark School of Engineering where they are trained to conduct data analytics for ongoing research projects and participate in the data value chain.
