  1. Fermilab Summer Internship Programs* • Internship for Physics Majors (IPM)/Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) • http://ppd.fnal.gov/ipm/ • 10 week program (June-August) • Open to physics majors, US or foreign (IPM only) • Contact person for project ideas: Erik Ramberg (ramberg@fnal.gov) • Summer Internship in Science and Technology • http://sist.fnal.gov/ • 12 week program (June-August) • “historically focused on African-Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic students” • Open to physics, engineering, and computer science majors • Contact person for project ideas: Jamieson Olsen (jamieson@fnal.gov) • Lee Teng Internship (joint with Argonne) • http://www.illinoisacceleratorinstitute.org/ • 10 week program (June-August), including 2 weeks at USPAS • Focused on accelerator science • Open to physics, engineering, or comp. sci majors completing Junior year • Foreign students OK if at US schools • Contact person for project ideas: Eric Prebys (prebys@fnal.gov) *see http://interns.fnal.gov/ Mentor Round Up

  2. Other internships • Fermilab Internship in Physics of Accelerators and Related Technology for International Students (PARTI)  • AKA “The Russians” – aimed at students from former Soviet Union • Applications closed and mentors assigned. • In the future, contact Sasha Shemyakin or Sasha Valishev • “The Italians”: summer internships in both • Engineering (contact Emanuela Barzi) • Physics (contact Giorgio Bellettini) Mentor Round Up

  3. General • Interns are matched with a mentor/project prior to coming (or even prior to the offer being made). • Students are paid a stipend plus travel and lodging expenses. • Generally, some sort of report is expected at the end of the term (a paper and/or presentation). Mentor Round Up

  4. Mentor/project guidelines • Projects should be well-defined and have a realistic scope • Remember, these are undergrads! • Ideally, scope should be scalable, depending on the student. • In general, projects involving hardware tend to work out the best, although software projects can work out if they are well designed: • Bad to have students spend the summer “thinking about something” or simply running software. • Mentors must be willing to devote time to this: • Some students need more supervision than others. Assume the worst! • Be sure you have a backup if you will be traveling. Mentor Round Up

  5. Some improvements this year • Carol Angarola has streamlined process with HR for IPM and Lee Teng • Won’t need to apply twice any more • I plan to make arrangements with CD to streamline standard computer accounts (Kerberos principle and account on Fermi domain) • A common complaint last year • Plan to have a mentor orientation meeting some time before the summer.
