IEEE-USA Government Fellowships

Each year, IEEE-USA sponsors qualified IEEE members to serve as government fellows.  The fellows spend a year in Washington, serving as advisers to the U.S. Congress (Congressional Fellow) or key U.S.

Department of State (Engineering and Diplomacy Fellow) decision-makers.  IEEE-USA's Government Fellowships link engineers with government, providing a mechanism for IEEE-USA members to learn

firsthand about the public policy process through personal involvement. The Fellows serve one year terms from September 1st to August 31st.

Congressional Fellowship Program

The congressional fellowship consists of an appointment to the personal staff of a U.S. Senator or Congressman or to the professional staff of a Congressional Committee. For an application Kit for the 2013-14 Congressional Fellowship Program, visit: http://www.ieeeusa.org/policy/govfel/cfapply.asp

Engineering & Diplomacy Program

The State Department fellowship offers an opportunity for an engineer to provide technical expertise to the State Department and help raise awareness of the value of engineering input while learning about and contributing to the foreign policy process.
