STIPEND AMOUNT: $1000 per month (USD)
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT APPLICATION: Monday, March 28, 2011
Overview:
M.E.I. Project Engineers is seeking two self-motivated students who is eager to apply their technical skills in an international environment. Internship projects are best suited for seniors studying engineering (chemical, electrical, mechanical, instrumentation), with a strong interest in how their field of study interacts in a real-world context. The internship experience will include, but is not limited to, the following three projects:
Chemical Factory:
Construction of a US $90 million chemical factory one hour outside of Shanghai is in progress and should be completed within 2 years. When completed, the factory will make Linear Alkyl Benzene. As a joint venture company, staff members must be open to working in an environment dealing with staff from Indonesia, Korea, China, Singapore, France, Japan and others.
Wine Production Facility: Master Planning, Design and Project Management of a traditional Chinese wine production facility in Kunming. The same labor-intensive and very traditional methods to make Chinese white wine have been used for 260 years. The goal of this project is to modernize certain areas of the production process without changing the taste but increasing efficiency.
Seamless Pipe Mill: A US pipe company owns 50% of a pipe mill in Yangzhou, manufacturing seamless pipes for the chemical, power, oil and gas industries. We anticipate placing interns at the factory for 2-4 weeks to understand how seamless pipes are produced. The long-term goal is to understand the whole pipe manufacturing process and eventually to market these products to the key players in these industries globally.

Job Description:
Interns will begin paired with a senior technical engineer for job shadowing as an introduction to MEI. Project work will include assisting with office duties, developing business plans, conducting internet research, writing reports, and documentation. Interns will also partake in supervised visits to both constructions and steel mill sites. Other duties may include engineering design calculations ro sourcing for equipment.
Qualifications:
The internship is open to seniors concentrating in engineering. It is important for candidates to possess cultural sensitivity and the ability to adapt and work under diverse management styles. Some Chinese speaking ability is preferred, but not required. Students are encouraged to secure housing on their own. If necessary, M.E.I. can assist with resources. Interviews will be conducted via Skype.
The Organization:
M.E.I. Project Engineers is one of Asia’s leading engineering companies. In 1973, Roland Wee founded M.E.I. in Singapore and later moved its headquarters to Shanghai due to the business boom in China. M.E.I. specializes in the design and management of chemicals, electronics, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and general manufacturing projects.
