Abstract :
Arizona State University, Motorola, and Intel have formed CEINT, the consortium for embedded and inter-networking technologies. CEINT sponsors paid internships for students in computer science and engineering. A student earns three credit hours per term for an internship, and a student can continue an internship for as long as three terms. An intern works 20 hours per week during the spring or fall semester, and 40 hours per week during the summer term. The internships are not just part-time jobs - each student participates as a member of a professional design and development team. Each student has an industrial mentor and a faculty mentor. At the end of the term, every student submits a final written report and makes a final oral presentation. In the spring semester of 2003, we had formal presentations as a one-day conference, and more than one hundred people attended the talks.
