Chemical Engineering Research Internship

A Chemical Engineering internship provides an opportunity for hands-on experience in a dynamic environment, often in cross-functional teams and gain exposure to different facets of engineering practices. Interns will be evaluated based on their relevant coursework and experience as well as their career goals and matched with an ongoing project that best supports their learning. An intern could have some of the following responsibilities:

• Design and Simulation:Support the design process by assisting in creation and evaluation of models and simulations using relevant software tools
• Technical Support:Provide assistance in calibration, maintenance, and trouble shooting of equipment and process-related problems.
• Research and Development:Interns may be tasked with researching new technologies, or conducting experiments related to process optimization or product development that can be applied to current or future projects.
• Data Analysis:Interns might be involved in analyzing data collected from experiments or simulations. This could include interpreting results, drawing conclusions, and making recommendations for improvements.

On-site Supervision and Support

Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance. 
 

Academic Credit

Students on an internship have the opportunity to enroll in their home university for credit, or enroll in a course through API to transfer back to their university for credit. Email support-internships@apiexperience.com for more information and a syllabus.
 

Housing and Excursions

Housing and excursions are included in your internship and will be selectable during the application process.
