Internship Description: Put your writing skills to use as an intern in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The department regularly hires interns to work in its communications office. This is a paid internship that involves working 15-20 hours a week. Duties include writing for the department’s Web site and publications, crafting news releases and Web site content, and assisting with other communications-related projects. We are particularly interested in anyone with video production experience.
Juniors are preferred, but the most important qualification for this position is a passion for writing. An interest in science or engineering is a plus, but not required. You should be organized, persistent, and a good overall communicator. This position is a great resume builder in a leading department with a vibrant atmosphere.
