Research positions and internships?

<p>How would I find these opportunities? Is there a student center that helps student find internships and stuff? I have no idea how to start. </p>

<p>Has anyone done anything at LBL and if so, what program was it? i am currently an engineering student who would like to get some experience in a working environment. I am only a first year so I am not sure if there are any open positions. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Ask your professors and gsis about possible opportunities, although it may be too late to find a position for this semester. As a freshman, it will be hard to find research positions or internships as many people demand at least basic junior level engineering coursework.</p>

<p>Also ask your friends if they are currently doing any research; they can put in a good word for you which really helps your chances of landing a position.</p>

<p>Undergrad research center:

<p>The career center might be able to help with internships, and possibly research opportunities. The link is on the main Berkeley website.</p>
