Join us this summer at the UMD UAS Research and Operations Center (UROC) for a rewarding opportunity you won't find elsewhere! As a UROC summer intern, you'll have 10 weeks from the start of June to early August to work hands-on with the UROC Team on a UAS-related project of your own design. You'll be a member of the UROC team, paid an hourly rate, and working alongside other team members on-site at our aircraft hangar located at St. Mary's County Regional Airport (2W6).
This internship program gives students a unique opportunity to define their own funded UAS-related project, experience managing that project from start to finish, and engineer/test the solutions that they develop.
Students will have many opportunities to learn about and participate in UAS operations and flight safety with the operations team at the UROC. Students will also participate in flight operations for their own projects.
Applicants are reviewed on a rolling basis. Projects must be approved by UROC for applicability, scope, and budget.
Requirements
Interns must be:
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate technical degree program (not limited to engineering) from rising sophomore to rising senior. Students from any accredited university/community college are eligible.
- Able to work full-time in Southern Maryland for 10 weeks during the internship period.
- Interested in UAS technology.
