The Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering offers a summer internship program with high quality jobs to its students. Employers contact our department in January with job descriptions. In February and March, we place our students on the jobs by matching interests of both students and employers.
Most of the damage from Hurricane Sandy is expected to come from the storm surge, explains Marc Perlin, a professor of ocean engineering at the University of Michigan. To understand what a storm surge is, imagine blowing air onto a plate of water. As the air crossed the surface, it would push the water and pile it up on the far end.
The University of Michigan is a charter member of The Naval Engineering Education Center (NEEC). NEEC is a joint educational initiative between the United States Navy, and a consortium of 15 educational institutions in the United States. It's mission is to engage and develop the next generation of civilian engineers through project-based education, collaboration, and curriculum experience leading to civilian career opportunities with the U.S. Navy.
