Iowa State University - CenUSA Bioenergy Center
Research Internship Experience for Undergraduates
Program Dates are May 28-August 3
The summer 2013 CenUSA Bioenergy Research Internship Experience
for Undergraduates will provide rich interdisciplinary training and engagement opportunities
for undergraduate students in all areas of the bioenergy value chain to meet
the workforce challenges of the emerging bioeconomy.
The research internship program will enroll a class of 12
students, with all students spending the first five days in the program at the
Iowa State University host site. While a portion of the students will
remain at Iowa State University, several of the students will then travel to
one of CenUSA’s partner institutions (depending on their research interests) to
complete their summer program at a partner lab. All students will maintain
contact with the program through distance technologies for weekly meetings,
seminars, and final presentations.
