WISE ChE Interns Investigate Public Policy

摘要

Three chemical engineering students devoted the summer to exploring the interface between engineering and public policy, after AIChE selected them as 2013 WISE (Washington Internships for Science and Engineering) interns. Andrew Crothers (North Carolina State Univ.), Christina DcLago (Stevens Institute of Technology), and Nicholas Kusanto (Oregon State Univ.) spent two months in Washington, DC, broadening their perspectives on how engineers impact society. As part of the program, the students prepared and delivered papers on public policy topics based on what they learned in their intern roles.
