Attention Towns and Villages!!!
Cornell Asset Management Program (CAMP)
Cornell Asset Management Program (CAMP)
Are you a student looking for real-world civil engineering experience?
Are you a municipality looking to put together a time and money saving pavement management program?
The Cornell Asset Management Program (CAMP) summer intern project helps municipalities implement a pavement management system for local highway networks while providing college students, assisted by a municipal employee, with a valuable work experience. The program work includes students collecting pavement inventory and condition data, and creating a five-year maintenance plan for municipalities using our Cornell Asset Management Program-Roads and Streets (CAMP-RS) software. The project provides your municipality with a way to overcome some of the time constraints that limit the implementation of a pavement management system. Students get practical experience that will help them after they graduate from college.

How to Apply?
Municipalities
Municipalities should send a letter on municipal letterhead to the Cornell Local Roads Program by February 28, 2019, stating their intent to participate in the program. By sending the letter, the municipality agrees it will meet all the responsibilities listed on page 3 of the CAMP brochure, and will have the necessary equipment before the training held in late May. The letter should state if the municipality will be recruiting the student.
Student Interns
Students not recruited directly by the municipality need to submit a resume to Geoff Scott, P.E., Technical Assistance Engineer with the Cornell Local Roads Program at grs78@cornell.edu. Interviews will be held through the Cornell Engineering Career Services in March 2019 or directly by CLRP. The Cornell Local Roads Program will match up students and municipalities as soon as possible after interviews.
