Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE)

Connecting Engineers & Scientists with Public Policy Since 1980

 

Each year, IEEE selects three outstanding engineering student members to participate in the nine-week WISE program in Washington, D.C.  Students discover how government officials make decisions on complex technological issues, while also learning how engineers and scientists can contribute to legislative process and regulatory decision-making.

 

The WISE Program is ranked as one of the best Internship opportunities in the U.S. by the Princeton Review.

 

IEEE-USA, IEEE Life Members, and IEEE Technical Activities Board collectively support IEEE’s participation in the annual WISE program. For more information on the program and application forms, please visit: http://www.wise-intern.org

 

Deadline for the 2017 program

RCSS MINIGRANTs due by Oct. 31

 The RCSS Minigrant provides a means for math and science teachers to supplement their standard funding. The funds for these grants are provided to RCSS by various organizations and individuals in the Greater Rochester Area. Up to $250.00 can be requested upon application, as described below. Applications will be reviewed and judged on the basis of relevance to science and math, on lasting impact on students and/or class room facilities, and other aspects, such as: innovation and creativity, new teaching concepts, long term usefulness, numbers of students served, plans to share results with others, etc… RCSS accepts applications for Minigrants from teachers in primary and secondary schools in the following eleven counties surrounding Rochester, New York: Allegany, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates.
