Internship

Catalog description

Internship to be conducted at a national lab, technical company, or observatory/research center (including those on campus) working on instrumentation design, integration and testing on a project NOT associated with the student’s dissertation project. The internship can occur in the US or an international lab/business. The purpose is to increase the student’s breadth of experience, work in a team environment on topics outside their project area, and potentially develop new professional contacts. The internship needs to be approved by the student’s committee before it begins. It is suggested that roughly two credits be offered per month of internship duration.
