Applications for WISE are sought from outstanding engineering students who display
evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy. Minority students
are encouraged to apply.
The Summer 2009 WISE
Program is scheduled from 8 June - 7 August 2009.
To qualify for consideration, applicants must be juniors, seniors, or entering their
final year of undergraduate studies in engineering (or computer science).
WISE will also accept applications from engineering grads who are beginning
Masters level study in a technology policy-related degree.
Interns must be citizens
or legal permanent residents of the
United States of America.
Applicants are required to fill out an application form, write two brief (one page)
essays in response to questions, arrange for two faculty references, and forward an

the contact information provided. ANS, ASCE, ASME, IEEE and SAE
will sponsor only individuals who are members of their societies at
the time of application.

In addition to the broad eligibility guidelines for participation in
the WISE program, each sponsoring society
uses its own criteria in determining which students to select from its
applicant pool. If you have any questions about society
sponsorship, contact the designated society coordinator.
Here are some answers to
Frequently Asked Questions about the
WISE program and application process.
TIP: If you belong to
more than one sponsoring society, submit an application to each
society of which you are a member in order to increase your chances
of being selected.
TIP: If you are not
currently a student member of a WISE sponsoring society, then
consider joining.
For questions about the application process
not covered in the FAQ, please contact the point of contact for the
sponsoring society you are applying to (see above).
If you don't have a PDF reader, you can
