Fluid Power Scholars

Working with industry over the past several months, the CCEFP has created the framework for a new industry internship program. The Fluid Power Scholars Program is planned as a highly competitive program open to undergraduates who have successfully completed at least two years in an accredited engineering program in the United States. It begins with an intensive three-day instructional program in fluid power, taught at the Fluid Power Institute at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), and follows with industry internships. Up to ten undergraduate students will be selected to participate by a committee of faculty and industry representatives. In addition to their paid internships, scholars will receive stipends for travel and living expenses associated with their work at MSOE. (Implementation of this program is planned for 2010. Applications will be accepted beginning in the fall of 2009.)
