FICS undergraduate student project

We are looking for two Undergraduate OPS students for summer to work in FICS on security with myself. Can you send this out to the ECE undergraduate students like you did previously for our other project?

The wording is as follows:
"FICS is looking for two highly motivated students from ECE/CISE department to work with us on a computer security project.  

Students with strong background in FPGA, programming, computer architecture, and security, and are interested to work at least 20 hours a week can send their resumes to Prof. Swarup Bhunia (swarup@ece.ufl.edu) to be considered for this position. Those who are selected will be also compensated."

Thanks,
Swarup

This is not a guarantee that you will be registered for the course.  Students will be registered as seats become available based on the date and time by which they reply to this message.  If seats open, the SSO will follow the wait list to register students.  The SSO will send an email (GATORLINK ONLY) to students that were registered for the course. If you do not receive an email then you were not registered for the course. Be certain of your summer plans before signing up for the waitlist. Doing so notifies the SSO that you fully intend to enroll in the course; changing your mind and dropping may prevent another student from the opportunity to take the class.
