"Synthesizing molecules in glass flasks wearing a white coat – an internship in a laboratory made me realize, what I wanted to do.” 👩🔬 What a difference a school internship can make! For Verena, it changed her life. During her chemistry studies, contrary to her expectations, she acknowledged, she was more suited to chemical engineering. Read our article to find out what happened next for Verena. You can find the link in the comments. #BASF #career #future #internship #production

Mastering Serial Dilution in the Lab -In the lab, serial dilution is a key technique I use to create solutions with progressively lower concentrations. -By taking a known volume of a high concentration stock solution and diluting it with a solvent, I can achieve precise concentration gradients. -Each step involves using the newly diluted solution as the stock for the next dilution. -This method is crucial for various experiments like preparing calibration curves in analytical chemistry. #Chemistry #LabWork #SerialDilution #Science #Research #AnalyticalChemistry #kfmrc #internship

As you embark on your internship journey in the field of chemistry, remember that every experiment, every trial, and every error is an opportunity to learn and grow. You are not just testing hypotheses, you are shaping the future of science and technology. Your work may seem small in the grand scheme, but it is a vital piece of the puzzle that will lead to breakthroughs and innovations. Don't be afraid to ask questions, seek guidance, and explore new ideas. Remember, the greatest chemists were once interns, facing the same challenges and doubts that you may be experiencing now. But they persevered, and so can you. So, put on your lab coat, gloves, and goggles with pride. You are part of a legacy of scientists who are changing the world, one experiment at a time. Keep pushing boundaries, seeking answers, and making a difference. The future of chemistry is in your hands.

Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is not merely an academic discipline; it serves as a catalyst for innovation in various sectors, including product design, energy, and sustainability. At Indium Corporation, we believe that Materials Science changes the world. This blog follows Keya Sharma as she embarks on an exciting internship at #IndiumCorporation, where she engages with practical applications of MSE, exploring advanced digital microscopy and the vibrant atmosphere of manufacturing floors. Discover how internships can provide valuable technical challenges while fostering community connections and why MSE could be the perfect path for you: https://lnkd.in/e_a5ZUJZ

Internship Spotlight Paper Science and Engineering opens up many opportunities for our students, Kaia Markert is staying close to campus this summer working for Wolfspeed Semiconductor as a Chemical Mechanical Planarization Engineering Intern. He takes us through his adventure! What has been your favorite part so far? The Wolfspeed internship program is very well organized because there are over 100 interns in Durham every summer. Not only do they host fun events like zip lining and intern dinners with the CEO, Gregg Lowe —just a really cool guy, they also help you learn a lot about the processes through meaningful projects. Please share a day in the life of a Wolfspeed intern, Day-to-day varies a lot based on specific department and manager, but my day consistently has lots of meetings, multiple visits to the floor for shadowing experience, and several projects that take up ~50% of my time. How does your internship relate to what you've learned in the classroom? Because this is a semiconductor manufacturing plant, which is very different from paper, you just have to know how to learn. Most everything is new, but there are definitely still constants that are consistent through all of engineering, like lean six sigma and statistics. Do you think the PSE program prepared you for this internship? The PSE program helped me prepare for this internship by providing me with previous work experience in paper mills. Nothing beats learning on the job and as different as semiconductors are from toilet paper, there are several valuable things to be learned about working in a professional environment with other engineers. How is this uniquely different than past internships? My previous two internships were in tissue mills. They are nothing at all like Wolfspeed’s semiconductor manufacturing process, which is exactly why I chose this internship. A lot of us will be graduating with the chemical engineering dual degree, why not use it some? Hopefully working in a completely different industry will broaden my experience and show future employers that I'm comfortable working in foreign environments. What do you do on weekends and after work? Wolfspeed is great because I didn't have to move from NC State. I've been enjoying beach music and new Raleigh restaurants all summer with friends. Thanks for sharing your unique summer internship with us, Kaia. PSE is so proud of you for branching out and digging in!

"Thrilled to conclude my chemical engineering internship journey! Grateful for the hands-on experience, invaluable mentorship, and endless opportunities for growth. Excited to leverage these learnings as I embark on the next chapter of my career in the fascinating world of chemical engineering. #Internship #ChemicalEngineering #Gratitude"

8 weeks have flown by. Thanks to Siyun Cao for joining us at the Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Sheffield for the #fuse2024 The Faraday Institution internship scheme. Solomon Brown and I had the pleasure of introducing Siyun Cao to the field of battery safety and thermal runaway modelling. A new topic as well as modelling methods was a lot to learn in a short time but it didn't phase her. Wishing her all the best for the future. #safebatt #thermalrunaway #liionbattery #batterysafety #simulation
