Attention CECS Students:The Lewis' Educational and Research Collaborative Internship Program This is an educational program that provides a summer opportunity for students interested in NASA and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Internships of 10-week duration are available during the summer months at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland Ohio. Applicants must be full -time students in the fall 2008, and US Citizens. Students interested in participating in this program may obtain more information and the application form by visiting www.oai.org/education/lercipDownloads.html or www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/education/LERCIP_GRC.html to download the application. (Applications are available in 405 RC-Dean's Office also). Attention Students:Each year, the Ohio Board of Regents awards fellowships to Ohio undergraduate students who will pursue graduate or graduate professional study at an Ohio institution of higher education. Fellowship recipients receive a stipend of $3,500 per year for two years of study with additional stipends and tuition remissions opportunities provided by some institutions available. To be eligible for consideration to receive a Regents Graduate/Professional Fellowship in the 2008-2009 academic year a student must be a baccalaureate degree graduate during the 2007-208 academic year, be a U.S. Citizen, and Ohio resident, and be enrolled as a fulltime graduate student.

Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program(BESIP) at the National Institutes of Health June 2 - August 8, 2008 A Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program (BESIP) is being offered at the National Institutes of Health. Previously, this program was sponsored by the Whitaker Foundation. Sponsorship of this program is now with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) at NIH. This structured ten week summer program will sponsor sixteen undergraduate biomedical engineering students in cutting edge biomedical research projects in NIH laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland, under the mentorship of world-class scientists. The interns will be selected by a Selection Committee consisting of eight NIH scientists/engineers through a nationwide competition and participants will have the opportunity to indicate preferences of projects from a list of available projects provided by NIH scientists from several of the NIH Institutes who are working on biomedical research problems that involve areas of engineering or physical science expertise. The students will also participate in group meetings, attend planned lectures and laboratory visits, and be encouraged to submit posters to the NIH Poster Day where summer interns from all disciplines present their projects. The selected interns will be housed together in a local apartment complex near NIH. The housing will be paid for by the BESIP program, so there is no cost for housing to the interns. The Program will run from June 2 through August 8, 2008 and all interns must participate in the full ten week program during the specific interval listed above. For more information about the NIH, visit the web site at www.nih.gov. For more information about the BESIP program, including the on-line application site, eligibility requirements, the selection criteria, and a proposed project list, visit our web site at http://www.nibib.nih.gov/Training/UndergradGrad/besip/home Eligibility: To be eligible for the Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program, a student must have completed at least three years (6 semesters or 9 quarters) of undergraduate study in a Biomedical Engineering or Bioengineering degree program by the start of the 2008 summer and be returning to undergraduate school for at least one term following the summer program. Because of the structure of the program, the orientation procedures, planned group activities, and the housing arrangements, the intern must be available and present on the Bethesda campus to participate in the full ten-week program at the starting and ending dates listed above. Early starts or departures cannot be accepted in the program. The intern must also be a United States citizen or permanent resident. Stipend/Benefits: The summer intern will receive $4600 for the 10-week program. The stipend will be dispensed as a prorated amount at the end of the months of June, July and August for the ten-week duration of the program. Housing will be provided at no cost to the intern. The 16 selected interns will be housed in four two-bedroom, two-bath condominiums in the Bethesda area near NIH with each condo having four interns. It is mandatory that the interns live in the designated housing for the 10 week period. The intern must pay any travel expenses between their home and the NIH from the summer stipend. The apartments are close to NIH and convenient to public transportation. The intern must cover the travel expenses from home and return out of their summer stipend and are responsible for the cost of the local transportation to and from NIH. How/When to Apply: An on-line application system is the only method used to apply. The on-line application should open by December 1, 2007. The BESIP web site has links for the on-line application. The on-line application form requests the following four items to be used in the intern selection process: (1) A resume which should contain addresses and phone numbers for both school and permanent residence, an e-mail address and a statement affirming the US citizen or permanent resident status of the applicant. The resume should contain information about the student’s education, recent work experiences, and activities and awards. (2) An unofficial transcript or listing of all college courses and grades. An official transcript may be requested only from the final selected interns before they commence the internship. (3) Two letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with the student’s academic or work performance, such as faculty or supervisors, and who can comment on their suitability for this program. Automatic requests for letters of references will be generated by the application system and sent by e-mail to the two individuals listed by the applicant. (4) A written essay equivalent to approximately one single spaced page briefly discussing such topics as your career goals, technical or research interests, reasons for applying for this internship, describing what you would like to get out of the BESIP summer program. Most of these items can be cut and pasted into the on-line application form. Deadlines: The deadline for submitting the on-line application is February 10, 2008
