The Institute for Advanced Composite Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI) has launched a new summer internship program for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning more about advanced composites technologies to aid in the creation of low-cost and energy-efficient manufacturing. Summer 2016 IACMI internship participants will have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and interact with scientists and engineers who are at the top of the advanced composites and manufacturing fields. Program participants will receive a weekly stipend ($600 for undergraduates, and $750 for graduate students) for the duration of the program, a housing allowance up to $175 weekly, and travel limited expenses to-and-from the internship site.
Interested applicants will have the opportunity to apply for internships at one of five IACMI partner locations:
Composite Materials for Compressed Gas Storage – Dayton, Ohio
Design, Modeling and Simulation – West Lafayette, Indiana
Composite Materials and Process – Knoxville, Tennessee, Nashville, Tennessee, and Lexington, Kentucky
Composite Materials for Wind Turbines – Golden, Colorado
Composite Materials for Vehicles – Detroit, Michigan
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and current undergraduate or graduate students in good standing at a regionally accredited U.S. college or university. Additionally, applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 or the equivalent as verified by transcripts, be at least 18 years old at the time of the appointment, and provide proof of health insurance coverage (the opportunity to purchase health insurance through ORAU will be offered).
Application deadline: March 15th, 2016.
Program dates: June 6th – August 12th, 2016 (10 weeks)
