I am working on developing and building an Earth science related instrument, the instrument characterizes aerosols in the atmosphere. The instrument is for my master's thesis, at the Univ. of Maryland. I work full time and I am attending graduate school part-time. My company is funding the materials and my education. My advisor has no $$ to give out at the moment.
I am mainly working on the instrument design and integration, along with the science (making sense of the raw data it retrieves). It is was the pre-established plan for me to also develop the embedded electronics of the instrument. However, this is going to be a large task! At the moment there is no free money to hire an outside EE with my company and the university.
Has anyone went about applying for state and local grants? I would use the funds to hire/fund a couple undergraduate (upper-level) EEs for a couple semesters. The project is environmental based you could say, I could leverage it that way for grants?
Cheers guys!
