Summer internships at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
There are several summer internship opportunities at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL is the Department of Energy’s primary lab for research in renewable energy and energy efficiency. The internship program is open to all undergraduates majoring in science, mathematics, or engineering disciplines. The NREL internships web page can be found at http://www.nrel.gov/internships. There are two types of internships for which a Carleton student might qualify: the Research Participant Program and the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) Program. What you won’t see on the website is that applications for the SULI program are already being accepted: October 15 – January 31, 2006. The start and end dates are flexible, so the ten week program could be adjusted to match Carleton’s summer break.
