The Computer Science Department strongly encourages students to participate in an internship experience the summer after their Junior year. Internships allow students to apply their technical knowledge in a real-world environment while helping them discover the career path they would most enjoy. Interns often engage in the same projects and work on the same teams as seasoned software engineers and system administrators. Below are some of the most noted internship programs in the country for computer science students. There are many great opportunities that have not been include here. Students are encouraged to search the web for more.
BYU students also have a one-year subscription to internships.com. The search engine lists internships by location, area of study, and compensation to aid our students in their internship search.

Intel offers full-time, paid summer internships that give four-year college students hands-on opportunities to contribute ideas to challenging projects, network with Intel professionals and learn from real-world experiences. While class commitments understandably take precedence during fall and spring semesters, Intel recommends that summer interns not take part in daytime summer courses, since 10-12 weeks of challenging, full-time work makes additional class work difficult. Intel usually searches for and recruits summer interns between January and March, though applications are accepted year-round.

Berkeley Lab is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer committed to the development of a diverse workforce.
For students majoring in Computational Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and related science and engineering fields, Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences hosts a 12-week research summer program that provides students with the opportunity to gain research experience. Participants will work on computational research projects under the guidance of one or more staff members.
Berkeley Lab, located in Berkeley, CA is a world leader in computing, biological, physical, materials, chemical, and energy sciences research. In summers past, students at the Lab have worked in such project areas as:
Projects are designed so that students will complete a major portion of the work during the 12-week period. This program is geared toward students between their junior and senior years who have completed core courses in Computer Science, Mathematics, and related areas of study or graduate students in any computer and computational science discipline. The exact starting date is at the mutual convenience of the students and the needs of the program. For more information about the program visit http://www.lbl.gov/CS/Careers/SummerStudents.html.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California holds an annual national competition for the prestigious Lawrence Livermore Summer Internship Program.
Involvement in world-class research provides interns with a set of experiences that support their education and career goals. Typically, students gain hands-on experience and the opportunity to apply learned theory to real life problems.
In this capacity, students are making genuine contributions to program goals. Students publish and co-author papers as well as present their research at conferences and their schools. Yet another benefit is a pipeline to employment, strengthening collaborations with academia as well as other DOE laboratories and employers partnering in collaborative research.
While students spend approximately 80% of their time conducting science research with their mentor, they can spend up to 25% of their time participating in special supplementary educational activities designed to provide students with an introduction to research that supports LLNL’s mission. These activities include technical lectures, tours and socials, etc. as described in our electronic Student Bulletin Board, as well as required health, safety, computer and project specific training. In addition, students receive instruction in preparing a scientific poster for display at the annual poster symposium, and may also be asked to give a technical presentation.

Candidate will be given the responsiblity to develop, test, and evaluate Weight and Balance software tools for hte Air Force, Army, and Navy aircraft. Tools include, but are not limited to, the Automated Weight and Balance system (AWBS) and the Automated Form F (AFF). AWBS is a common tool throughout the DoD. It tracks aircraft weight and center of gravity in order to provide information needed to properly complete flight clearance forms. AWBS simplifies the process of tracking all aircraft components that affect weight and balance. AFF is a tool used to generate flight clearance forms. Flight clearance forms must be generated for each flight to ensure safety of flight. AFF automates limits and fuel calculations and handles loading of weapons data. AFF has also been developed for use on the Pocket PC for transport aircraft. High level of self-motivation is required. Involvement in all phases of the software process is required, i.e. development of software requirements and design documents, project plans, software coding, software testing, and training customers on the use of the product.
As an intern, you’ll have many opportunities to learn and grow and to develop your skills. We encourage you to make the most of your experience by taking full advantage of all the benefits Micron, in particular, and Boise, in general, have to offer.
This is more than your average internship. It’s an entire program based on making your experience as educational and enjoyable as possible. As part of the Micron team, you’ll be working with the finest engineers and other professionals on some of the most advanced, innovative technology in the industry. You’ll be invited to participate in presentations by our executive and management teams that will enhance your overall knowledge of the company.
There are many ways to get our attention, but attending a Microsoft recruiting event on your campus or sending a resume to your Microsoft recruiter are two of the best. See BYU's career placement services and eRecruiting websites for information about Microsoft appearances on your campus.
