Summer Research Opportunity

Summer Research Internships in the College of Engineering

The College of Engineering, in partnership with the Provost's Office and Engineering faculty will offer summer research opportunities for high achieving students.  The intent of this program is to encourage undergraduate students to consider pursuing graduate degrees and to provide then an early opportunity to become involved in research.

Students will receive $11.00 per hour up to a maximum of 40 hours per week and 400 hours total for the summer.

Once again, the College of Engineering is offering summer research interns for 2009.  To be eligible for this research opportunity, you should be one to three semesters from graduation:

• December 2009

Student who do not fit into the graduation time frame will be considered on an as needed basis.

You can submit your application materials through MySpartanCareer.com or email to friedric@egr.msu.edu or drop them off at The Center for Spartan Engineering 1340 EB.
