There are many employment opportunities for undergraduate engineering students. Local and mainland companies offer paid and non-paid internships allowing students to gain practical experience in an engineering work environment. On campus jobs are also available in many departments.  Visit UH Jobs and Cooperative Education Opportunities for opportunities offered through the University.

• Description: The Human-Robot Interaction Lab has opportunities for undergraduate summer internships in the summer, for haptic interaction and surgical robotics research projects, in the following areas: C/C++ Programming: OpenGL graphics, real-time control and user interaction, learning and using peripheral device APIs. Fabrication: Solidworks design, basic machining and metalforming, coil winding, electronics fabrication. Matlab modeling and analysis: Functions and scripts for plots, matrix analysis, spatial kinematics. Information on the lab projects is available at www.me.hawaii.edu/HRIL.
