NASA WVSGC Student Internship Program (SIP)
- NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce summer internship and research opportunities for students enrolled in science, math and engineering at one of the Space Grant affiliate institutions in West Virginia.
- Programs are offered at either the NASA IV & V Facility in
Fairmont, WV or at WV High-Technology companies
Description: The NASA/Independent Verification & Validation Internship Program consists of a 10-week resident summer research program for diverse undergraduate and graduate students interested in careers in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related fields. It gives its participants working knowledge of NASA and its programs. Through this internship the Research Associate will learn how NASA and IV &V Facility operate, understand the NASA link to the private sector, and gain experience working with a leading Software Assurance research program. Projects may include working hand-in-hand with researchers performing NASA funded research, sanitizing and preparing data and artifacts to support research efforts, developing tools to assist IV &V engineers and project managers, and working to infuse the results of research into NASA software development and IV &V projects.
WV High Technology Companies: These programs were created to provide students with practical experience and internships while under the guidance of mentors from the industrial, academic, and government sectors. A ten-week resident summer program to extend and strengthen NASA's commitment to educational excellence and university research; and to highlight the critical need to increase the Nation's undergraduate science, engineering, mathematics, and technology skill base. The programs incorporate the following key elements: -
- Create an alliance partnership (shared responsibilities, personnel, and facilities) between the Space Grant affiliates, and industry participants
- Provide an environment for strong aerospace industry sponsorship and participation of mentors, facilities, and ideas
