In the Engineering Undergraduate Internship Program, engineering undergraduate students join engineers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory for 10 weeks in the summer providing valuable, practical experience as an engineer at a National Laboratory. The program aims to increase the number of people from underrepresented groups in the energy workforce.

Applicants must apply online, providing a transcript and the contact details for two reference letters.

Participants are offered a stipend of $500 per week. Housing and travel are not covered. Participants will attend a week-long course in plasma physicsat the start of the program, and will deliver an oral and a poster presentation of their project at its conclusion.

To be eligible, applicants must:

• be enrolled in a four-year college or university
• be enrolled in relevant STEM courses
• be sophomores or juniors with a 3.0 grade point average or above on a 4.0 scale
• be eligible for work in the United States
• be able to travel to and from the laboratory

It is strongly recommended that students have:

• some experience relevant to engineering design, analysis or fabrication
• a strong interest in engineering and technology
