Many students with the potential to excel in science or engineering have only a general idea of what a career in research or engineering entails. The Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering Program provides high school freshman, sophomores, and juniors with exceptional opportunities in a professional, scientific, or engineering environment. ASE helps them explore their interests and make informed educational and career decisions.
Positions are available throughout Oregon and southern Washington.
For the third year in a row, our ASE student has met or exceeded our expectations in a surprisingly short period of time. We wish more science and engineering firms would sign up for the program. For eight weeks during the summer, ASE students work full time at their mentor's workplace. The impact of the ASE program extends far beyond the eight weeks in the workplace. Some apprentices are credited as authors or co-authors of professional publications, or they develop products used by their mentors.
