Overview

Virtual Internship Opportunity in Energy Management: Bring on one or more students from the Vancouver campus of the New York Institute of Technology in the Master of Science in Energy Management program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more information, network, or computer security projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from January to April or May to August. Placements may be part-time or full-time, depending on your needs.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual student placements are preferred. In-person student placements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local COVID-19 restrictions.
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project and should be determined before the initial consultation
The student should complete 150 hours with your organization by the end of their internship.
Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial technology project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Students in New York Tech-Vancouver's Energy Management program complete the following courses:
- Energy Management
- Energy Technology in Perspective
- Systems Engineering and Management
- Power Plant Systems
- Alternating Energy Systems
- Introduction to Environmental Technology
- Energy Policy, Economics and Technology
- Energy Efficient Lighting
- Sustainability and Environment
- Computer Applications for Energy Management
- Solar Energy Technology
- Advanced Battery and Fuel Cell Technologies
- Environmental Risk Assessment
Project examples could include, but are not limited to:
- Feasibility studies
- Energy audits
- Exploring concepts for new technology, software, etc.
- Developing a business plan
- Education initiatives
- Political and/or policy-related projects
