​

Typical Students

3rd / 4th year undergraduate or 1st / 2nd year graduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineer (ECE) or Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Most students engage on classic HW and SW projects ranging from Verilog development on Xilinx or Intel-Altera FPGAs, such as the "traffic light problem" to the infamous "bomb" project, which requires disassembly of an executable using gdb to determine the correct inputs to diffuse the "bomb". Dozens of projects have been replicated exactly and completed successfully with students across the world.

​

Rarefied Solutions also supports researchers in the publication process with manuscript reviews prior to submission and from an IEEE editor perspective. Futher, Rarefied Solutions supports at-risk, disadvantaged and adult (or non-traditional) students as well as hobbyists. Meetings can be arranged online or in person, in Chicago.
