2015 China Internship Program
School of Engineering, Stanford University
The Stanford School of Engineering has been running a summer China Internship Program for
six years. The program aims to enhance engineering education by providing students an
opportunity to learn about China's rapidly expanding role in global business and technology and
to gain real-world work experience in a culturally diverse environment.
About 30 companies have already hosted our interns in Beijing, Shanghai, Kunshan, Hangzhou,
Shenzhen and Taipei. The hosting organizations include multinational and local companies.
Stanford engineering covers a broad range of majors including Aeronautics and Astronautics,
Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, Management Science and Engineering, Material Science and
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Product Design. Both undergraduate and graduate
students are eligible for this program. Each student must commit to full-time work for the 12week summer internship. A faculty-led selection committee will get involved in application
review before we recommend the best-matched candidates to the hosting organizations. The
detailed timeline of the program is shown on the next page.
Thank you for being interested in hosting Stanford engineering students in summer 2015. Please
pass the info to the relevant divisions and persons within your organization. Please fill the job
