WISE Internship ANS is a full participant in the Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) Program, with guaranteed support for two students. ANS-sponsored students must be student members of the Society. The WISE Program is co-sponsored by several professional engineering societies and the National Science Foundation. The Program is open to students in engineering or technology and policy programs who are in their junior or senior year of undergraduate studies or in graduate school. Approximately 15 outstanding students are selected in a nation-wide competition to spend 10 weeks during the summer in Washington, D.C., led by a faculty member-in-residence. During their internship they attend a series of seminars to learn how government officials make decisions on complex technological issues and how engineers can contribute to legislative and regulatory public policy decisions. Each intern also completes an independent research project and paper dealing with a technology policy issue. Interns are housed at George Washington University at the expense of the WISE Program, and receive a stipend for the summer. Travel expenses to and from Washington are also defrayed by the Program. Office space for the ANS interns is provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute. Applications for the 2009 Program are now available on the WISE Web site. Information about WISE interns and projects from previous years is also available on the WISE Web site, and WISE Programs appear in the September/October issue of ANS News. Related Links: |

National Academies Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program This graduate fellowship program of the National Academies - consisting of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council - is designed to engage graduate and postdoctoral students in science and technology policy and to familiarize them with the interactions among science, technology, and government. As a result, students in the fields of science, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine, business, and law develop essential skills different from those attained in academia, which will help them make the transition from being a graduate student to a professional. Applications are now being accepted for our 2005 program. This year, the internship program will comprise three, 10-week sessions: Winter: January 10 through March 18; Summer: June 6 through August 12; Fall: September 12 through November 18 To apply, candidates should submit an application and request that a mentor complete a reference form, both available on the Web at http://national-academies.org/policyfellows. The deadline for applications is November 1 for the Winter program, March 1 for the Summer program, and June 1 for the Fall program. Candidates may apply to all three programs concurrently. Additional details about the program including alumni reflections, eligibility requirements, and how to join our mailing list are also available on the Web site. |
