Electronic applications are currently being accepted for the 2018 summer term. The appointment dates are June 4 - August 10, 2018. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. EST on February 12, 2018.

The Institute for Advanced Composite Manufacturing Innovation has an interest in developing the skills of strong technical undergraduate and graduate students who might one day support the workforce in both talent and leadership.  The IACMI Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students a chance to participate in a 10-week summer program with an assigned mentor at one of IACMI’s partner sites.  The program is managed for IACMI by ORAU.

Project Description

Selected candidates for this opportunity will take part in innovative design, modeling, and simulation research with IACMI's partner at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.  Selected candidates may also be assigned to an IACMI industry partner with the noted states, as well.  In addition, depending on the host facility, selected candidates may be subject to a drug test and/or background check.

IAMCI’s Design, Modeling & Simulation Technology Area, located in Indiana and led by Purdue University, offers modeling and simulation tools to help address the need to shorten the development cycle and decrease the cost of composites manufacturing while allowing more time for innovation throughout the entire supply chain.
