All WISE Interns are each sponsored by one of the engineering societies that participate in the WISE program:

American Association of Engineering Societies
    Connie Kyle, ckyle@aaes.org

American Institute of Chemical Engineers
     Dr. Maria Burka (NSF), mburka@nsf.gov

American Nuclear Society
     Alan Levin, alevin@alum.mit.edu

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.
     Doug Read, dread@ashrae.org

American Society of Mechanical Engineers Int'l
     Melissa Carl, CarlM@asme.org

ASTM International
     James Olshefsky, jolshefs@astm.org

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
     Erica Wissolik, e.wissolik@ieee.org

SAE International
     Tim Mellon, tim@sae.org

In addition to jointly funding the internship with support from the American Association of Engineering Societies, the sponsoring societies are expected to fulfill various roles in support of the program.  They work with their WISE Interns to select a research topic for the summer program.  Society staff and/or volunteers serve as mentors to their WISE Interns.  Sponsors also provide access to computer facilities and information resources available in their Washington offices. 

If your society is not on this list of sponsoring organizations, ask them to join the WISE program.  We'll be glad to provide information on the program and can follow-up your contact.

For more information on how you can become a WISE sponsoring society, provide program mentors, and/or make a tax-deductable contribution to support the WISE Program, contact Erica Wissolik at e.wissolik@ieee.org.
