Electrical Engineering Internships at Seattle City Light
We’ve
been keeping the lights on since 1910. The Nation’s Greenest Utility
seeks awesome interns to help maintain that tradition.
Our
Energy Delivery Division seeks junior electrical engineering students
to assist with electrical distribution system design, network load flow,
project construction, load studies and system modeling, and capital
improvement projects. Interns will rotate through different aspects of
engineering design, including pole, overhead electrical, underground
electrical, and transformer overload replacement.
Interns
should have training or experience with AutoCAD or similar CAD programs
and with engineering drawing standards. Interns will also need to
emphasize any experience in performing project coordination and record
keeping tasks.
These internships will start in January and run for a minimum of one year (with a possibility to last up to two years).
Read the position announcement and apply online. Applications are due by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18.
Drama 103 through online learning!
Add a little drama to your life! Register today for Drama 103: Theatre Appreciation, SLN 13157
An Online Course!
Offered in the user friendly Canvas system, the new iteration of Drama 103 has no on campus requirements and is an excellent choice for students who are out of area, studying abroad, working, or have other time constraints that require remote study.
This course is aimed at familiarizing students with the art of theater through a survey of the key components of the live theatrical experience. In this course we explore and compare performance in its many forms by viewing video/film alongside live performance. This is an excellent course for students who are both new to performance studies and those seeking to further develop the critical skills and vocabulary needed to appreciate and thoughtfully analyze a performance event. As this is not an acting class, you are not asked to perform but rather to view, enjoy, and discuss the art of performance as you experience it!

INTSCI 301: Integrated Sciences Careers Seminar - Course Announcement
INTSCI301: Integrated Sciences Careers Seminar (1 credit, credit/no credit grading)
Are you interested in a career in
the sciences? Would you like to:
- Explore a wide variety of careers available to students with a broad science background?
- Network with professionals in science careers, including science education, science writing, and science policy?
- Learn about successful pathways to careers in science, as well as the skills required for those careers?
Weekly guest speakers in INTSCI 301
expose students to a variety of possible careers and provide students with tips
and insight based on their own careers in the sciences. Students complete
a final "field experience" consisting of a visit and informational
interview with someone working in the sciences.
Open to undergraduates at all levels with an interest in learning more about science careers.
Here's what some of our previous students had to say about the class:
“The field experience exposed me to
a career I didn’t even know existed! This class should be required
for all science majors. I wish I had taken it when I first came to the
UW.”
“This class was a very pleasant
surprise. It proved to be helpful in areas other than just exploring
science careers.”
“Having guest speakers come in from
different fields is really awesome and gives lots of different perspectives.”
INTSCI 301 will meet on Wednesdays,
3:30-4:50 p.m. For registration questions, please email Meghan Oxley,
Integrated Sciences Adviser, at: what@uw.edu.
Jicamarca International Research Experience Program - JIREP 2015
The students will work with staff engineers and scientists on projects
related to ongoing research or instrumentation development programs.
Research may be conducted in neutral atmospheric and ionospheric science as well as radar/radio instrumentation and software development. Given its
location, frequency of operation, and array system, most JRO's research
capabilities are unique. Besides the unique research capabilities where
students are welcomed to propose and run their own experiments, JRO offers a good opportunity to get hands-on-experience on different aspects of radar
systems, from changing the antenna connections, improving RF components of the system, to develop sophisticated acquisition and processing programs.
A side benefit of the program is that students will get to know Peru,
heir to ancient cultures and rich colonial tradition. This program is
offered to junior/senior undergraduate and/or first and second year graduate
students and will cover the travel expenses (to and from Lima), as well as a
reasonable stipend. Given that the Observatory is located outside Lima city,
transportation will be provided.
• Application deadline: January 30, 2015
• Decision: February 20, 2015
• Starting date: Anytime between May 11 until June 19, 2015
• Duration: 10 weeks
More information and application/recommendation forms can be found at
http://jro.igp.gob.pe/jirep/ or by contacting us at jirep@jro.igp.gob.pe
