Summer 2010 WISE
Program
7 June - 6 August
WISE seeks applications from outstanding engineering students who display
evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy. Minority students
are encouraged to apply. 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.
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
official transcript.
WISE applicants should apply directly to their desired sponsor using
the contact information provided. Please note that some societies - AIChE, ANS, ASCE, ASME, IEEE and SAE - will sponsor only individuals who are members of their societies at
the time of application. If you belong to
more than one sponsoring society, you must submit an application to each
society of which you are a member. If you are not
currently a student member of a WISE sponsoring society, then
consider joining.
To apply for a WISE Internship, select a sponsoring society(s),
download a WISE program application and follow the instructions
provided.
