CCM Summer Internship Program
WHAT IS THE SUMMER INTERN PROGRAM?
CCM summer internships
offer students the opportunity to work in the University’s Composites
Manufacturing Science Laboratory and/or at the Army Research Laboratory
in nearby Aberdeen, Md., through a collaborative research program June
through 3rd week of August. All students are invited to participate
in our Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium in August. Approximately
25–30 students participate in the program each year
What Do Former Interns Say?
"My professional
development was certainly enhanced by my participation with the Center
for Composite Materials."
"The
close interaction with faculty, exposure to 'grad school' environment,
and membership in a research team were experiences I could not have gotten
anywhere else."
"The
experiences over the summer gave me significant insight into the research
process and the time and commitment required to gain results."
"The
work environment at CCM is extremely positive, and I plan to continue
working at CCM throughout my undergraduate degree."
What is the Center for Composite Materials (CCM)?
Founded in 1974, CCM is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary
center of excellence in composites education, research, and technology
transfer. Since 1981, over 400 undergraduates from mechanical, chemical,
and civil engineering, materials science, physics, and business have worked
as research assistants at CCM.
How will it you?
Students
participate as members of multidisciplinary teams addressing real problems;
thus, summer research complements the theory of academic coursework with
the practice of the laboratory. Summer internships often pave the way
for internships with industry, continuation of research during the academic
year, independent research, co-authoring of papers, and the opportunity
for students to present their work at conferences and symposia.
On what types of would
you work?
CCM summer interns have worked
on a wide variety of topics, including
- Mechanical properties of composites
from coupons to large-scale structures
- Chemical characterization-cure behavior,
dynamic properties, rheology, synthesis
- Microscopy/spectroscopy
- Processing
- Prototypes
- Design
- Computer programming/simulations
- Process control and sensors
- Nondestructive inspection/signal processing
How much will you earn?CCM summer interns earn between
Starting at: $9.00/hour.
