Each year, outstanding
engineering students are selected to spend nine weeks in a special summer program in
Washington, D.C. to learn how government officials make decisions on complex technological
issues and how engineers can contribute to legislative and regulatory public policy
decisions. The WISE Program is ranked as one of the best
Internship opportunities in the U.S. by the
Princeton Review.
