APSC 7620

A research internship of at least four (4) months at a government, non-governmental or industrial research institution, or at an academic research laboratory at a different university. The intent is to have the student gain additional experience in research techniques or applications and benefit from expertise not available locally. The student is required to submit a proposal at least two months in advance of the start of the internship, to be approved by the Supervisory Committee and Program Coordinator. The proposal will outline learning objectives to be completed by the student. The student will submit a report to the Supervisory Committee, no later than one month after the internship ends. The Supervisor and Supervisory Committee are expected to help the student find and fund an appropriate internship. Should an appropriate internship be unavailable for a particular student, the student will have to complete a technology transfer study based on his/her research and present it to the Supervisory Committee augmented by one member from the Sobey School of Business or the Industrial Liaison Office. The student will normally be required to spend at least 50% of their time during the internship working at the place of internship.
