Since 2013, AIChE has interviewed its WISE (Washington Internships for Students of Engineering) interns about their experiences. In the WISE program, engineering students entering their final year of undergraduate studies are selected to conduct research on a public policy issue for 9 weeks during the summer in Washington, D.C.
