We are currently recruiting for the REU Site: Green Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban Environments to begin in Summer 2022. Please forward this flier to any students that may be interested in the program. Students can visit https://isse.utk.edu/opportunities-for-faculty-students-partners/reu-home/ for more information and to apply, but I am also happy to chat with them if they’d like additional information: hathaway@utk.edu

Green Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban Environments (GI4SUrE) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) is a 10-week summer program designed to expose and immerse 10 undergraduate students to unique green infrastructure (GI) research. Green infrastructure is a way to build better infrastructure, addressing the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenge to restore and improve urban infrastructure. This program lets students perform field, laboratory, or modeling studies to explore how GI can mitigate the effects of urban runoff on surface water quality and hydrology. This research will affect not only eastern Tennessee, but any area that deals with urban stormwater runoff. Students will also dive into a professional and social atmosphere that will develop their fundamental research methodologies and critical thinking skills.

Hello,

 Our agency is offering a summer internship for a biological/agricultural engineering undergraduate for the summer of 2022.  The 10-week internship begins May 21 and ends July 27.  The duty station will be in our main office located at 216 West Jones Street in Raleigh.  The individual awarded the internship will earn $20/hour and is expected to work at least 29 hours per week.  Normal work hours are Monday through Friday between 8am and 5pm.  The internship consists of approximately 50% office work and 50% field work.

We are interested in a biological/agricultural undergraduate who has successfully completed coursework to attain a junior class standing.  The individual will be working with technical staff (engineers, technicians, soil scientists) collecting field data (surveying), developing conservation best management practice (BMP) designs using Civil3D software, and conducting construction inspections at various project sites.  Typical conservations BMPs include earthen dams for farm ponds, earthen dam repairs, stream restoration, constructed wetlands, storm water bio-retention cells, animal waste management systems, and agri-chemical handling facilities.

More information about our agency may be found at: http://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/index.html

Candidates interested in the internship may send their resumes to me electronically at scott.melvin@ncagr.gov by Friday, April 6.  After interviews, an internship offer will be extended to a qualified candidate before April 27, 2018.  Please share this opportunity with any qualified BAE undergraduate.  Thank you in advance for your help and contact me if additional information is needed.
