In its effort to promote STEM education in youth and to serve the local community, AI4networks Research Center recruits outstanding local high school students as interns for a 4 to 12-week internship every year. Interns are assigned short research projects designed to suit the intern's interest and skill level. In addition to being closely guided by Prof. Ali Imran, on day to day basis each intern works closely with at least one senior Ph.D. researcher in AI4Networks Research Center, who mentors the intern throughout his/her tenure at the AI4Networks Research Center. Such close interaction with some of the smartest people working on the topic of the internship project facilitates quick learning and successful completion of the project. The whole internship experience is closely supervised by AI4Networks director Prof. Ali Imran. This outreach program aims is to expose students to STEM career pathways in general and telecommunications engineering and its applications, and prospects in real life, in particular. The projects are designed to inspire interest within the participants for exploring and pursuing STEM careers and research in their future professional life. Despite its short duration, this exciting opportunity is bound to provide interns a lot of valuable and rich exposure to the future of wireless communications, while working in a multicultural environment that features international and national industrial and academic collaborations.
