Undergrad Intern & Research Opps Summer C & Fall thru UF's ALP

Hi EE Majors 

Are you looking for an engineering internship or research position in the Summer C or Fall 2023 semester and interested in developing your personal-professional skillsets? The Active Learning Program (ALP) is a 1-semester internship and research program that connects eager, well-trained undergraduate students with UF faculty and community mentors engaged in internship and research projects. Interested students apply to be enrolled in the 3-credit Active Learning Program IDS4940 course where they will earn valuable, mentored internship and research experience; develop their personal-professional strengths, values, mission, and brand; build their professional and interpersonal skillsets in collaboration, communication, and conflict management; learn to professionally analyze the complex problems facing our world; and create professional deliverables to be used in their internships and as an early career professional. We offer in-person and remote-only internships, and our Summer course is online asynchronous, so students can intern with us over the summer even if they are not living in Gainesville!
