The Wyoming Summer Undergraduate Internship in Transportation Engineering (WyoSUITE) is a paid internship program for junior- and senior-level engineering students with an interest in transportation research. Interns will come to Laramie for the summer and work on cutting-edge research topics in intelligent transportation systems, rural planning, pavement materials and systems, roadway pricing, and many other topics! This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain hands-on research experience, in preparation for a future career in transportation or graduate school.
Interns working the entire summer will receive a stipend of $4,200, in addition to scholarships for tuition. Interns will also be enrolled in a three-hour special topics course, with weekly lectures on current critical issues in transportation. As a UW student for the summer, this means that all interns are also eligible for on-campus housing, use of campus recreational facilities, and all other student benefits. Interns needing to start later than May 15, or finish earlier than August 6, are still welcome to apply and will receive a prorated stipend.
Even though you will be expected to work 20-40 hours per week on your research project, that leaves plenty of time to explore the surrounding area! Laramie is located two hours north of Denver, nestled between the Snowy Range and the Laramie Mountains. Outdoor activities like camping, backpacking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting are very close by, and the summer weather is perfect for enjoying these.
To apply, fill out the application form, and mail it to Steve Boyles, Dept. 3295, 1000 E. University Ave., Laramie, WY, 82071 along with an unofficial transcript, two reference letters, and a one-page personal statement outlining your goals, interests, and experience in transportation. You may also e-mail your applications directly to Dr. Boyles at this address. Applications received by April 10 will receive first consideration.
Anyone interested in additional information is welcome to contact Steve Boyles.
