EOL Summer Undergraduate Engineering Internships

EOL's summer undergraduate engineering internship program provides a unique and valuable experience to prepare engineering students for successful careers.

What does an engineering intern do?

  1. Thomas AvilezWhile working at EOL, interns help develop new instrumentation and improve our existing suite of NSF/NCAR lower atmospheric observing facilities. Most internships also offer the opportunity to gain practical experience operating operating facilities in the field by deploying on one of our NSF-funded research projects.

    Interns are encouraged to develop their own engineering solutions as they work with and are mentored by professional, experienced engineers and technicians. During the internship, interns have access to a large number of resources such as sophisticated testing and calibration instruments, technical documentation, state-of-the art fabrication capabilities.

Who should apply?

  1. EOL's mission primarily requires electrical, mechanical, optical, and computer engineering skills but we encourage all engineering students to apply. EOL provides an hourly wage as well as travel support and housing while in Boulder, and expenses in the field.

How do I apply?

  1. Applications are now being accepted for Summer 2010, but hurry! Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2010!

Henry Boynton

Henry Boynton can tell you what the atmosphere looks like at 51,000 feet above Earth's surface, a good 15,000 feet higher than most commercial airplanes venture. "The biggest thing you notice is that the sky is a lot bluer," he observes.

Marcel Verstraete

When Marcel Verstraete came to work at NCAR in May 1962, construction of the Mesa Lab was still years in the future. Scientists used slide rules instead of computers. And because there were no satellites to carry instruments, a major goal...
