U.S. engineering students to do internship at NIT-K

Six engineering students from reputed universities in the United States will do summer internship studying about 3D printing at the National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (NIT-K), Surathkal, for three years from 2021.

The United States National Science of Foundation (NSF) has awarded ₹2 crore to a collaborative project of NIT-K with New York University (NYU) and other institutes for the same. The funding is from International Research Experience for Students (IRES) grant.

“It is a great opportunity for students of both the countries for exploring new avenues in 3D printing with a focus on developing viable solutions for societal needs. This project aims to provide students a comprehensive experience of taking 3D printing research from the laboratory to industrial-scale realisation,” NIT-K Director computer science engineering said in a release.
