Mewbourne School of Petroleum & Geological Engineering at the University of Oklahoma announces an Undergraduate Summer Internship Research Program

Students applying are expected to have completed at least 2 1/2 years of their undergraduate degree.

Students will be assigned to one professor and will conduct research on a specific topic. At the end of the internship students will give a final presentation of their work on the last day of their internship.
