University of Wyoming Summer Internship Opportunity in Transportation Engineering

WyoSUITE 2011

WyoSUITE Brochure

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.

How to Engineer Engineering Education

A workshop held annually at Bucknell University that offers engineering and science faculty and graduate students a hands-on experience to enhance their teaching by:

• Writing clear instructional objectives at appropriate cognitive levels
• Using active, cooperative & problem-based learning
• Teaching teamwork and problem solving skills
• Assessing learning outcomes

Previous Workshop Attendees Had these Responses

"Wonderful... Marvelous.  This workshop was well worth my time.  Several very practical examples and helpful practices were given to me in this week.  The coaches practiced what they preached and did an excellent job in illustrating the principles."

"I have been to several workshops (5 or 6), this was the best I have been to.  It was beyond my expectations."

Intended Audience

Engineering and science faculty and prospective faculty (including graduate students) who are interested in designing their courses around important learning outcomes, making their classrooms more active, and incorporating problem solving and teamwork skills into their courses.

M.E.I. Project Engineers (Shanghai) Summer 2011 Internship

OPENINGS: 2

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.  For more information, please visit:http://www.meichina.com/index.htm.

To Apply:

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and resume to Evonne Wee, Project Coordinator, at evonne@meichina.com.  If you have questions or need assistance applying, please contact Tiffany Burke at tiffany_burke@brown.edu.
