National Center for Atmospheric Research - Engineering Internship - Summer 2016
Summer Undergraduate Program for Engineering Research
The Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) is committed to building a professional STEM workforce for future generations, and offers a unique experience with foundations in observational science and engineering to undergraduate students. EOL hires undergraduate engineering students who would like to gain skills and knowledge in the atmospheric sciences during the summer months for the Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research (SUPER). SUPER interns work hand-in-hand with NCAR/EOL engineers and technicians on atmospheric observing systems and developments, including radar, lidar, and sounding systems and associated software developments. Interns may spend part of the summer participating in a field deployment, operating and supporting one or more EOL observing systems.
While working at EOL, interns help develop new instrumentation and improve our existing suite of NSF/NCAR Lower Atmospheric Observing Facilities. Some internships offer the opportunity to gain practical field experience by operating and maintaining equipment during an NSF-funded research project.
Interns are encouraged to develop their own engineering solutions as they work with and are mentored by professional, experienced engineers and technicians. During the internship, interns have access to a large number of resources such as sophisticated testing and calibration instruments, technical documentation, and state-of-the art fabrication capabilities.
EOL’s mission primarily requires electrical, mechanical, optical, and computer engineering skills but we encourage all engineering students to apply. Undergraduate students enrolled at accredited U.S. colleges and universities are eligible to apply for SUPER internships. However, note that some projects may require that the intern be (a) a U.S. citizen; (b) lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States; or (c) a protected individual as defined by 8 USC1324b(a)(3).
EOL provides an hourly wage as well as travel support and housing while in Boulder and expenses in the field.

$10,000 Astronaut Scholarship Foundation Award
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation is currently seeking applicants for their $10,000 (2016-2017) academic year award.
Applicants
from all Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) fields qualify
and applicants are not required to pursue the Astronaut Corp.
Application materials may be found at the following URL: http://www.waspacegrant.org/for_students/undergraduate_programs/scholarships/
Notice
that faculty nomination is required, so it is recommended that you

NSF REU Program at Texas A&M University - application due on Feb 1st
Texas
A&M University will be hosting a National Science Foundation (NSF)
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program from May 31-August
5, 2016. This summer program will provide opportunities for
undergraduate students to learn about mechatronics, robotics, and
automated system design. Program objectives are to help participants to
understand the research process, to acquire laboratory skills, and to be
well-positioned for graduate school and career success. Activities will
include joining a research group led by a faculty mentor, completion of
a 10-week research project, and participation in weekly seminars, field
trips, and career development workshops. Students will write a report
and present their research to their REU cohort and at an REU poster
session on campus.
Each
participant will receive a stipend of $500/week for participation in
the program. Other benefits include housing, meal and travel allowances;
1.0 credit hour of undergraduate course credit; and full access to
university recreational facilities.
Students
and incoming students at two-year and four-year institutions are
eligible to apply. Participants will be selected based on the following
criteria: 1) desire to participate in research and interest in a career
in mechatronics, robotics or automated system design, as evidenced by
application responses and faculty recommendations; 2) interest in a
career in a STEM field; 3) GPA of 3.00 or above; and 4) citizen or
permanent resident of the U.S. or its possessions. Students who are from
