Some information on summer jobs

Dear class-

I happen to come across a couple of links regarding summer internship and research opportunities, and I'm passing these on to you in case you are interested. Now actually is the time to get going on these, as many deadlines for internships and research occur in March.

The NSF runs a program called Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Many departments in different scientific and engineering disciplines around the country run this program. I believe Professor Chmelka mentioned one such program at U. Delaware earlier in the course. The following is a student-centric website provided by NSF that has a search function for all of the participating departments, as well as links to the individual programs:

If you are interested in an internship, the AIChE website has a list of links to companies that commonly offer such opportunities to chemical engineering students. For many of these, you can click through to get to the company website, and then follow the link to "careers" to get to an internship-specific information section. The list is at:
