Are you ready to take your engineering career international?
The iPRISM program is an international paid research experience open to 3rd and 4th-year undergraduate students running June - July 2025. Although organized by Penn State University Park, the program is seeking applicants from UMBC, a partner institution in this National Science Foundation sponsored program. Applicants are sought from the College of Engineering and Information Technology.
The program builds on the strong partnership between the Penn State Center for Living Multifunctional Materials Systems and the University of Freiburg livMatS Center of Excellence in Germany. Dr. Paris von Lockette (Professor, Mechanical Engineering, UMBC) also has ongoing collaborations with both Penn State and Freiburg that bring this opportunity to UMBC COEIT students.
The program leads would like to encourage underrepresented minorities in STEM to apply.The application closes on November 25th.

The iPRISM program is a fully paid summer research internship at
the University of Freiburg centered on engineered living materials
research. The selected undergraduate students will receive a competitive
stipend for their stay as well as a per diem to cover food and
incidentals, with both travel and lodging also covered by the program.
We have local University of Freiburg mentors and hosts, as well as an
iPRISM graduate student mentor, to mentor the iPRISM cohort on various
research skills and acclimating to Freiburg.
