[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

-

/*The following posting is  available on MySpartanCareer.com for the 
2011 Summer Research Intern Program for the College of Engineering.
The listing number is 17069.*/


The College of Engineering, in partnership with Engineering faculty, 
will offer a number of summer research opportunities for high achieving 
students.  The intent of this program is to encourage undergraduate 
students to pursue graduate degrees, and to provide them an early 
opportunity to become involved in research.   Students will receive 
approximately $11.00 per hour up to a maximum of 40 hours per week and 
400 hours total for the summer.

Applications will be accepted and evaluated on a rolling acceptance 
process until all of the positions are filled.  Applications submitted 
prior to February 26, 2011 will be given first consideration.  All 
Engineering majors are encouraged to apply.

A resume, essay, and an application must be submitted for 
consideration.  See attachment.
