Fluid Power Scholars

The CCEFP is launching its unique and highly competitive undergraduate internship program during the summer of 2010. The Fluid Power Scholars Program begins with an intensive three-day instructional program in fluid power, taught at the Fluid Power Institute at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). Summer-long industry internships at sponsoring companies follow. Engineering students who had successfully completed at least two years in an engineering curriculum were invited to apply and, in response, the CCEFP received many outstanding applications.

The selection process is now complete, and the eight 2010 Fluid Power Scholars have been named. The program is truly national in scope, with scholars representing engineering schools across the country: Arizona State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, Montana State University, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, and the University of South Florida. This year's Fluid Power Scholars are sponsored by the following industry supporters of the CCEFP: Caterpillar, John Deere, Deltrol Fluid Products, Enfield Technologies, Parker Hannifin Corp., Sun Hydraulics and Tennant Corporation.
