Ceramic Powder Academic Practicum Experience

The project encompasses exploring novel BN powder morphologies, evaluating new BN/SA blends, and characterizing their performance in polymer composites

Responsibilities:

This internship is designed as an Academic Practicum Experience. Where applicable the student may coordinate with their academic institution to align the internship with coursework, independent study, or credit-based learning objectives.

• The student will observe and participate in supervised laboratory activities related to powder preparation and composite formulation as a part of a structured learning experience.

• The student will evaluate BN and SA powder characteristics such as particle size, particle morphology, specific surface area, density, and crystallinity, as well as filler-polymer composite performance metrics such as thermal conductivity and viscosity in organic matrices.

• The student will work supervised with a team with engineers to evaluate different approaches, formulate test plans, design experiments using six sigma tools, execute these tests, and analyze the data.

• The student will gain experience in writing technical reports and will have the opportunity to present the results to a technical audience

This intern project will be carried out in collaboration with and under the guidance of a team of experienced engineers.The students will be provided with necessary supervision, training and support, such as statistical skills training, tools & resources throughout their work.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor student in materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, polymer science, bioengineering, chemistry, physics, biology or related field

• Independent research capability and good at working 'hands on'

• Should have excellent verbal & written communication and listening skills, and a minimum GPA of 3.5.

• A positive attitude showing initiative & drive, high quality of work, and attention to detail.

The Ceramic Powder Academic Practicum Participant is an unpaid internship designed to provide the student with real-world, hands-on training aligned with their coursework.
