ASE Program Overview

Founded in 1990, the Apprenticeships in Science & Engineering (ASE) program was designed to address a growing concern over the quantity, quality and cultural/gender diversity of our nation’s future technical and scientific workforce. ASE has grown from a pilot program of six student interns to more than 150 interns during summer 2016. For over 27 years, the program has provided more than 3,800 students with hands- on, project-based, eight-week internships with practicing professionals in science and engineering. These students are a part of a pool of more than 500 applicants from throughout Oregon and SW Washington.

ASE engages high school students in STEM fields by providing them with • A mentor • A competitive application process • A comprehensive orientation and training program • Real-world internship experience • A tangible career path ASE internships are • Eight-week, full-time, on-site summer opportunities • Hands-on, practical experiences in career-oriented fields • Mentored by practicing professionals in science and engineering • Offered throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington How the Program Works ASE internships connect motivated high school students with mentors in a pre-professional setting in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Mentoring organizations include universities, hospitals, research institutions and private companies.

ASE team members and teacher monitors provide support throughout the summer to mentors and students.
