MEAM Summer Internships

These two summer internships are designed to support undergraduates in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics in pursuing summer research and design projects. Proposals for projects that are initiated by the students and do not have an alternative source of support from funded faculty research projects will be given special consideration. Projects with a creative or entrepreneurial focus are especially encouraged.

The Jacob M. Abel Summer Internship seeks to promote excellence in undergraduate education in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics in SEAS. This internship provides a stipend of up to $4000 to assist undergraduate students in pursuing summer research projects. A special focus of this internship is the development of experiments in the undergraduate laboratory sequence and the support of creative design projects.

The Herbert J. and Selma W. Bernstein Class of 1945 Internship provides financial aid for undergraduate mechanical engineering students involved in summer research projects. A stipend of up to $4000 will be awarded to support independent research projects initiated by MEAM students.

Applications:
To apply, students must submit a current resume and a reasonably detailed description of the project (at least 1 page), including budget covering the period during which the work will be performed, to Ms. Olivia Brubaker (229 Towne Building, email to: oliviarb@seas.upenn.edu).

Deadline:
Friday, February 27, 2009
