The Maryland Department of Transportation Fellows Internship Program is designed to introduce Maryland's most promising college students to the rewards and challenges of working within Maryland's integrated transportation system. During the summer, interns are placed in senior-level assignments in one of MDOT's integrated system of agencies. Then during the subsequent fall or spring semesters, students participate in a part-time internship in one of MDOT's agencies. The MDOT Fellows Internship Program is offered by The Shriver Center in partnership with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation.

Have you found the internship or research position of your dreams on your own, but just don't know how to get credit for it this spring semester? Do you want a notation on your transcript for all your hard work, but are unsure how to proceed?

Well look no further! The staff at the UMBC Shriver Center is here to help!

That internship you found is important to obtain admission to graduate school and to find employment after graduation. You gain experience, can get paid, and could potentially obtain three upper level credits, all by interning only 8 to 10 hours per week.

Best of all, if you found an internship, co-op, or research position on your own for the spring, you can get the notation on your transcript (FREE OF CHARGE) - and be on your way to possibly receiving credit- its not too late. That's right, the deadline to add the intern notation or obtain credit for the spring semester is in two weeks.

IN ORDER TO GET YOUR INTERNSHIP/CO-OP/RESEARCH POSITION TO BE ADDED TO YOUR TRANSCRIPT:

1. Either call (410-455-2493) or stop by the Shriver Center on the ground floor of the Public Policy Building to make an appointment with a Coordinator.
2. Get a letter/memo from your employer (on company letterhead) verifying that you are interning 8-10 hours per week and bring it to your appointment.
3. Meet with your Coordinator to get enrolled in the Practicum (to have the notation put on your transcript as a university sanctioned experience) and have your potential credit options explained to you.
4. Enjoy your internship, co-op, or research position!

If you do not already have an internship lined up but are interested in obtaining one, we’ll be glad to help you with that as well. To begin the process of finding an internship through the Shriver Center and UMBCworks, visit http://www.shrivercenter.org/documents/Shriver%20Center%20Four%20Step%20Process.pdf That link will detail exactly what you need to do.

The Shriver Center is OPEN from 8:30 am to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, so stop in or make your appointment soon!

There is an undergraduate research opportunity this Spring with Prof. Erle Ellis, investigating spatial patterns of human/environment interactions.

The student will participate in existing research projects together with others in the lab, including graduate students. Research may involve fieldwork and will make use of existing spatial data at global, regional and local scales (population, land use, land cover, terrain, climate, gas fluxes and socioeconomic variables). Examples of ongoing work in the lab are at: http://ecotope.org/projects/

The successful applicant will receive a stipend of $750 per semester, get hands-on research experience, and a great item for their CV/resume!

To be selected, the student must be an undergraduate, have demonstrated skills or interest in geospatial analysis and/or remote sensing, and an interest in human interactions with the environment. In addition to funding, the student may be eligible for internship/independent study credit.
