ANS is once again partnering with the Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) Program, to create an internship opportunity for an ANS student member.

WISE seeks applications from exceptional engineering students who display evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy.

The WISE Program is co-sponsored by several professional engineering societies. The program is open to undergraduate engineering students who are in their junior or senior year. Outstanding students are selected in a nationwide competition to spend 9 weeks during the summer in Washington, D.C., led by a faculty-member-in-residence (FMR).

Applicants must be:

1. an undergraduate (Junior or Senior) engineering student or a recent engineering graduate beginning study in a Masters-level, technology policy-related program
2. a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States
3. a student member of the American Nuclear Society

To apply ANS student members must complete the online application form which includes:

• two (2) brief essays in response to questions provided
• two (2) faculty references, and current school transcripts

During their internship, interns attend a series of seminars to learn how government officials make decisions on complex technological issues and how engineers can contribute to legislative and regulatory public policy decisions. Each intern also completes an independent research project and paper dealing with a technology policy issue. Interns are housed at George Washington University at the expense of the WISE Program, and receive a stipend for the summer.

Office space for the ANS interns is provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute. The WISE Internship is not a paid internship. Students receive a stipend of $3,000 to assist with living and travel expenses. WISE-sponsored, dormitory housing is covered.
