It is the corporate umbrella under which Dr. Capece pursues his engineering and research interests in environmental sustainability, international development, and higher education. The interns live together in 3 to 5 bedroom houses in a close-knit atmosphere. This mix of nationalities and individuals brings with it all the complications of roommates and cultural differences. While many interns enjoy and learn from this experience, it can make others uncomfortable. Previous interns have come from Germany, Italy, France, Russia, China, Ghana, Belarus, Brazil, Portugal, England, Scotland, South Africa, Estonia, Ethiopia, Netherlands, Scotland, and Denmark.
All nationalities are welcome to apply.
The interns have their own organizational structure that they manage and run themselves. The interns do not serve under the supervision of a person doing exactly the same job as the intern. Instead, interns are placed in a position where they must bring their educational experience to a group setting and contribute their own unique expertise to the team. Dr. Capece provides direction and guidance, but interns have considerable freedom and responsibility to apply their own creative talents and energies to their assignments. While there is a degree of independence, there is still an expectation of high productivity.
