<i><b>The following posting is available on MySpartanCareer.com for
the 2011 Summer Research Intern Program for the College of
Engineering. <br>
The listing number is 17069.</b></i><br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
A resume, essay, and an application must be submitted for
consideration. See attachment.<br>
