SUMMER 2024 PROGRAM UPDATE
Due to increasing costs and changes among the sponsoring societies,
the WISE Program will not be offered in 2024.
Stay tuned for updates as the program hopes to return in 2025.
Overview
Each year, the Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) sponsoring societies select outstanding engineering students from among their members to participate in the nine-week WISE program in Washington, D.C. Students discover how government officials make decisions on complex technological issues, while also learning how engineers and scientists can contribute to the legislative process and regulatory decision-making.
WISE seeks applications from exceptional IEEE student members who display evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy.
Qualifications
- You MUST BE a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States. You may not apply for the program if you are not already a permanent resident of the United States.
- You must be a junior, senior, or entering your final year of undergraduate studies in engineering (or computer science). IEEE will also accept applications from engineering grads who are beginning Masters level study in a technology policy-related degree.
