MEES 699 Special Problems: Internship Experience/Non-thesis project

Credit 3
Students will be required to complete an internship at any of the state or federal agencies or at an approved environmental or natural resources consulting firm. Interns will be required to spend up to 250 hours in order to earn 3 non-thesis project credits. Alternatively, students may complete fewer hours per week over an entire semester for a total equivalent of 3 months. A minimum of 150 hours of experience at an internship site is required. Students will work with potential supervisors at the internship site to develop a project based on mutual interest. Students will be required to write a proposal describing their internship duties that will be presented to faculty and students. Students will work with the internship supervisor to determine and complete a form that will list the tasks to be accomplished on a weekly basis. Deliverables will be sent to the Internship Supervisory Committee on a monthly basis. Interns will be required to prepare and submit reports on their projects at the end of their internships. A special symposium will be organized during which students will make oral presentations to fellow students and professors on their experiences and knowledge gained at the internship site.
