EOL's internships provide unique and valuable experiences to prepare students for successful careers in the fields of engineering and technical support. We have two programs: the Summer Undergraduate Projects in Engineering Research (SUPER) program and the Technical Internship Program (TIP).
SUPER interns work hands-on with NCAR/EOL engineers on atmospheric observing systems and developments, including radar, lidar, and sounding systems and associated software developments including data analysis, visualization, and management. Interns may spend part of the summer participating in a field deployment, operating and/or supporting one or more EOL observing systems. Please see the SUPER page for more info.
EOL's Technical Internship Program (TIP) provides unique experiences to prepare science and engineering/technical support focused students from two-year colleges and vocational/technical institutions for successful careers. TIP is dedicate d to enhancing the diversity of future science support communities and the workforce. TIP interns work hands-on with technical and scientific support mentors. Please see the TIP page for more info.
