Summer Internships
2024 Pollution Prevention Internship Program
Are you an East Carolina University engineering focused junior, senior, or graduate student interested in a paid summer internship?
This is the second year of the CSE3 Pollution Prevention Internship in NC. This program will allow students to assess facilities located in environmental justice areas and take charge in making changes in the facility to reduce pollution, increase energy efficiency and save money! These recommendations will be in the format of a technical report and implemented by the facility based on your cost benefit analysis.
Information and Dates
Pay Overall $9,000
Dates: May 20th – August 9th
Location: Dependent on facility chosen in NC
Application deadline: March 1st, 2024
Training and tools will be provided and you will be guided by CSE3 faculty and ECU staff.

My research is focused in two areas: technical research in thermo-fluids and engineering education. My technical research includes computational fluid dynamics methods related to combustion processes, fuel injection, fluid flow and micro mixers, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and environmental management. In engineering education, my research includes areas related to recruitment to STEM fields, virtual engineering laboratories, and distance education.

My primary research interests are in the areas of agricultural and ecological engineering. A goal of my research is to increase the sustainability of the agriculture industry by reducing water use and improving the water quality leaving agricultural operations. In the field of ecological engineering, my research focuses on improving the design of coastal ecosystem creation and restoration projects to maximize nutrient retention while also providing other ecosystem services. My expertise includes high frequency measurement of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations to improve the accuracy of water quality monitoring projects.
