2023 Student Internship and Co-op Competition

Join us for our annual student internship/co-op competition where chemical engineering students share their experience, practice presentation skills, and win great awards!

Prizes:

• $500 1st place
• $300 2nd place
• $200 3rd place(s)

Participants must meet the following qualifications:

• undergraduate ChemE students (graduating Dec 2022 - Aug 2024)
• industrial co-op and summer intern students during spring, summer or fall 2023
• teams of 2 students are permitted if both meet qualifications

Students will present their original work done during their co-op or summer internship.  Presentations will be less than 10 minutes and will be judged by practicing chemical engineers and AIChE VLS members, based on:

• Application/demonstration of chemical engineering principles to students’ work
• Understanding of process and/or chemistry
• Clarity/appearance of slides and presentation
• Understanding how student’s work is used/applied/extended into other applications/industries
• Ability to answer questions
