The NASA/Olin Summer Internship Program

In each of the past five summers, underclassmen at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering have worked in small teams under the mentorship of astrophysicists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The experience of tackling authentic projects with strict schedule constraints has provided them with educational experiences that are quite different from what might be obtained in a classroom setting. Results from the perspectives of the Goddard mentors, the faculty advisors and the students will be presented.
