About CCI
This program places students from community colleges in paid internships
in Science and Engineering and Technology at any of several different
locations (see Choosing a Lab). Because of the comprehensive nature of
this program many of the participants have felt it has had an enormous
influence on their careers. Students work with scientists or engineers
on projects related to the laboratories' research programs. They
also attend career planning and numerous training/informational sessions.
The different laboratories each offer different research opportunities
(see Choosing a Lab).
The CCI only runs during the summer term.
