Take the initiative to involve yourself in research and/or internships. Speak to an ECE advisor to find out how to obtain credit toward your program. Some internships listed are also $$$PAID$$$. The possibilities to develop yourself academically, professionally, and to network in the engineering field are extensive:

RESEARCH & INTERNSHIPS

Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program at the University of Wisconsin Madison, College of Engineering.

We are particularly interested in identifying underrepresented candidates including first generation/low income, women, and students of color. All applicants should have completed at least their sophomore year, have a GPA of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, be U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in an accredited college or university, and have a strong interest in a graduate degree in engineering or physical science.

The SURE/REU opportunity is a ten week program running May 29 through August 3, 2007. Participants receive transportation to and from the program, a single dormitory room, small food plan, and a $4,000 stipend for a total package worth an estimated $5,000. Additional information along with a program application is available through the SURE/REU page at http://studentservices.engr.wisc.edu/diversity/sure/. The program recruits students from the following backgrounds: mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry, and other physical sciences

Placements for the summer of 2007 will begin January 15, 2007. Consequently we encourage applications prior to that date (to better ensure students are placed in their specific research area of interest) or as soon as possible after that date and before February 15, 2007. Please note that not all students who apply will be invited to participate. All placements are subject to faculty approval and are often outside the control of the SURE/REU program staff.

Thank you in advance for your support of our program. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about the SURE/REU Program or the University of Wisconsin Madison. I can be reached at (608) 263-4583 or sure-reu@engr.wisc.edu.

ISS EarthKAM is an on-campus internship sponsored by NASA. The program allows allows middle school students from around the world to photograph the Earth from the International Space Station using a web-based interface to send commands to a digital camera located on board the ISS. And UCSD undergraduates make the whole thing happen!  There are internship positions in the following teams:
