CIPTA - Corporate Internship Plasma Training in Alabama

The Alabama NSF EPSCoR FTPP project sponsors a 10-week Corporate Internship Plasma Training in Alabama (CIPTA) for students pursuing degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The program provides students at FTPP partner institutions with quality experiences on plasma technology applications at private companies and allows students the opportunity to establish connections with industry and university professionals. It is open to undergraduate and graduate students in a broad spectrum of disciplines.

The ultimate goal of the program is to engage a diverse, educated, and skilled pool of scientists and engineers to promote long-term relationships between students, academia, and industry to enhance the Alabama workforce. CIPTA will introduce students to industrial plasma technology applications and prepare them for transition into the AL workforce.

Available internship locations are CFD Research Corp. (Huntsville, AL), Evonik Birmingham Laboratories (Birmingham, AL), Plasma Processes (Huntsville, AL), Applied Materials (remote internship), Aspect Aerospace (Mobile, AL).

Applicants must be fully enrolled at an FTPP Partner Institution* as a graduate student, or as a junior, or senior undergraduate student and must plan to be enrolled at an FTPP partner institution during the term after the internships.
