Bioenergy Research Internship Experience for
Undergraduates will provide rich
interdisciplinary training and engagement
opportunities for undergraduate students in all
areas of the bioenergy value chain to meet the
workforce challenges of the emerging bioeconomy.
The research internship program will enroll a
class of 12 students, with all students spending
the first five days in the program at the Iowa
State University host site. While a portion of
the students will remain at Iowa State
University, several of the students will then
travel to one of CenUSAs partner institutions
(depending on their research interests) to
complete their summer program at a partner lab.
All students will maintain contact with the
program through distance technologies for weekly
meetings, seminars, and final presentations. Our
research undergraduate interns will select from
projects in the following areas:
* Feedstock Development
* Field-Level Sustainability
* Logistics
* Policy-Level Sustainability
* Feedstock Conversion Economics
* Markets and Distribution
* Health and Safety
Selected undergraduate interns will gain
practical research skills in computer modeling,
field methods, and/or experimental design by
conducting independent projects under the
guidance of experienced faculty and research
scientists. Other activities of our CenUSA
Bioenergy Internship Program are designed for
social, leadership, and professional development
of the undergraduate participants. Students
selected for the program will work on
interdisciplinary teams with faculty, graduate
students, post-docs, and in some cases industrial partners.
