2008 Summer Internship Program

The UNH-IOL Summer Internship Program, geared for students entering their senior year, offers academically outstanding candidates an opportunity to earn money while they gain invaluable experience working with global networking companies including Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, and Motorola. This summer's seven-week program (July 7-August 22) will present an overview of computer technology and offer hands-on experience in a real-world networking facility. Summer Interns will be exposed to the computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering programs offered by the University of New Hampshire. Additionally, students will gain a unique opportunity to mentor seventh-tenth graders as a part of UNH's Tech Camp initiative, a new day camp program hosted at the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

Program and Application Details

What our Interns Say

• "It's an experience you can't find anywhere else - an opportunity to be part of significant work in the real world - and it's a really good introduction to UNH as well - it lets you know what the realities will be and what UNH has to offer."
  – Peter Glynn - Senior, Dover High School
• "I really liked the environment - it's laid-back but efficient. It was good to learn that engineering the science are not necessarily as isolating as I expected. The industry experience is something that will be really valuable in resumes and interviews. The hands-on experience was great. It absolutely blew my expectations out of the water - above and beyond."
  – Justin Wheeler - Senior, Kingswood Regional High School
• "You get to learn how companies run and how technology works from people who know a lot about it. I thought it was great."
  – Allen Latham - Senior, Oyster River High School
• "I thought it was an awesome experience. The people were intelligent and open."
  – Ben Nichelson - Senior, Concord High School
• "My experience at the UNH-IOL was one that I could not have found anywhere else. The lab fostered an environment for learning, creativity and fun. One day you are a high school junior and the next you are testing on speed oscilloscopes. It was one of the most valuable summers I have ever had and I would recommend the internship to anyone looking to expand their mind. It really made me aware of how little I knew about the technical world."
  – Kaley Smith - Senior, Manchester Central High School
• "The internship at the UNH IOL lab was an enjoyable and gratifying experience, with plenty of exposure to a variety of modern networking technologies. Regular training sessions allowed this to happen, as well as day to day work in the lab. Spending time outside of the lab allowed for a change of pace, with a whole week spent at the UNH Electrical Engineering department. I would encourage anyone with an interest in computers, especially networking, to consider this internship. It is a paid job, and a singular opportunity to gain real world experience. This is a truly unique program, and I am very happy to have participated in it."
