STRIDE 2013 TRIP Interns

Five undergraduate students were chosen to participate in the STRIDE Transportation Research Internship Program (TRIP) in the summer of 2013. Three students interned at the University of Florida, a fourth at North Carolina State University, and the fifth student at Florida International University. During TRIP, interns participate in research projects under the direction of faculty and graduate students. The experience is valuable for students interested in pursuing graduate studies or working as a transportation engineer. Undergraduate students from the STRIDE consortium as well as from other universities across the U.S. are eligible to participate in TRIP and can choose to intern at any university within the consortium. This is a paid internship that runs from May to August of each year. More information is found at http://www.stride.
