audience-menu

The Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Symposium is the culminating learning event of the summer and enables the students to organize and synthesize their internship experiences. ASE interns present their work through poster sessions and 15-minute oral presentations. This enrichment activity is designed to broaden technical exposure and improve their speaking and presentation skills. Participants review and ask questions of peers’ projects and conclusions. Symposium is designed to broaden students’ technical expertise and strengthen their formal public speaking skills. It is also a critical learning event that enables interns to organize and synthesize what they’ve learned in the course of the internship.

ASE intern presentations include:

It's A Jungle Out There: The Effect of Portland's Urban Canopy on Air Quality

Rihana Mungin

By launching weather balloons 100,000 feet into the atmosphere to capture the Great American Eclipse of 2017, Rihana Mungin has defined the laws of possibility, both for herself and for engineering students at PSU. Her current work has gone beyond the stratosphere and into the microgravity environment of space as a mechanical engineering graduate researcher in the Capillary Fluidics and Dryden Drop Tower Laboratory at Portland State University. Here she applies her passions for innovation, design, and engineering leadership to research ways to better water plants without gravity. Rihana enjoys sharing her journey as a means to inspire future and current engineers and to invite all people into the wonderful world of engineering. The next planned launch that Rihana is prepping is that of her career – she hopes to focus on engineering leadership.
