Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE)

WISE 2002的目标是支持每年15名工程专业学生参加2002 - 2004年华盛顿工程专业学生实习（WISE）计划。 美国国家科学基金会的赠款将用于帮助促进来自代表性不足的少数群体和目前代表性不足的工程学科的学生的参与，使该计划真正的多学科和多样化。自1980年以来，WISE计划每年夏天带来多达18名学生，共324名学生到华盛顿，华盛顿特区了解政府官员如何在复杂的技术问题上做出决定，以及工程师如何为立法和监管公共政策决策做出贡献。 在整个十个星期里，学生们与国会和政府、工业界以及著名的非政府组织的领导人进行了互动。 与国会委员会、行政办公室部门和企业政府事务办公室的会议是日常活动。 此外，每位学生还研究并完成了一篇关于当前工程相关公共政策问题的论文。

The objective of WISE 2002 is to support the participation of fifteen engineering students each year in the 2002 - 2004 Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) programs. The NSF grant will be used to help facilitate the participation of students from underrepresented minority groups and currently underrepresented engineering disciplines to make the program truly multidisciplinary and diverse.Since 1980, the WISE program has brought up to 18 students each summer a total of 324 thusfar to Washington, DC to learn first-hand how government officials make decisions on complex technological issues and how engineers contribute to legislative and regulatory public policy decisions. Throughout the ten weeks, the students interacted with leaders in the Congress and the Administration, industry, and prominent non- governmental organizations. Meetings with Congressional committees, executive office departments, and corporate government affairs offices were daily activities. In addition, each student researched and completed a paper on a current and topical engineering-related public policy issue.
