Are there any summer intern openings for EE's?

"Nuclear Department Engineering Internship" Just about every intern engineer job is available through that one ID. Most always interns get full time offers after graduation.

it's not like it's a ton of radiation. i work at a nuke plant, a pwr, and have recieved about 30 mrem in addition to the normal dose every human receives of about 360mrem/year.

Do you have any openings for CEM's/CE's for summer internships?

^We don't do much construction these days except for the new plant being built in SC. Civil guys are welcome though. Would probably be associated more with modifications and major projects.
