2000 Undergraduate Summer Research Internships

The Department of Chemical Engineering is pleased to announce the availability of four Summer Undergraduate Research Internships made possible by donations from ICI, Procter & Gamble, and the B. L. Tarmy Foundation. These internships are intended to stimulate research interest in Chemical Engineering undergraduates at Carnegie Mellon University.

Awardees will conduct a research project under the guidance of a Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineering faculty member for a duration of at least eight weeks during the summer of 2000. The Internship provides a stipend of $4000 for living expenses. Undergraduate Summer Research Internship awardees will be selected by a committee of Chemical Engineering faculty.

Application: Use the attached form. Append your resume to the application form and submit all materials to Elizabeth Schwertfuehrer in DH1101.

Application Deadline: March 17, 2000

Notification of Awardees: by April 7, 2000

Requirements:

• Internship applicants must be current Carnegie Mellon students in good academic standing with a declared major in Chemical Engineering. Graduating seniors who have committed to attend graduate school in Chemical Engineering or a closely related discipline in the Fall of 2000 are eligible to apply.
• Applicants must arrange for a Chemical Engineering faculty member to serve as the primary advisor for the summer research project prior to submitting the application. Applicants will be expected to provide the faculty committee with a title and brief statement of objectives for the project based on input from the prospective research advisor. The Chemical Engineering faculty web pages (http://www.cheme.cmu.edu/who/faculty/) provide general information that will help you identify faculty research interests prior to making personal contact. Dr. Annette Jacobson (jacobson@andrew.cmu.edu) also maintains an ongoing list of available projects that faculty have submitted to her.
• At the culmination of the summer research period, the awardee must submit a short, three to five pages paper summarizing the objectives and results of the project. This should be submitted to Professor Jhon (DH1100, mj3a@andrew.cmu.edu) no later than August 18, 2000. A copy of this report will be sent to a representative from the donor institution.
