Available Student Internships with the Network Management and Operations (NMO) Lab
The Network Management and Operations (NMO) Lab is currently recruiting for several internships. Interns work with faculty sponsors who partner with Cisco Directors and managers on challenging projects in the areas of technology, product development, and project management. Complex networked systems problems (e.g. performance, reliability, security, quality of service, etc.) are replicated on the equipment for the interns to examine and solve. The NMO Lab also serves as a place for our interns to gain insight and expertise through the evaluation of new technologies and business processes.
Some Available Internships Include
- IT Developer

Playtesters wanted for research game
The CHEKOFV group is looking for players to test and provide feedback on Xylem, a game project currently in development at the UCSC Software Introspection Lab.
You do not have to be a regular game player to test the game; in fact, we highly encourage people of all gaming backgrounds to sign up, from those who rarely play games to those who play all the time!
In return for your time, we will provide snacks during the session! If you are interested in playtesting, please sign up via this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CY5R5NF Once we have your information, we will contact you for an invite to an upcoming user test!
Online Undergraduate Research Workshops
Two new PowerPoint presentations have been posted on the UCSC Undergraduate Research Opportunities website on a new Workshop page (https://ugr.ucsc.edu/workshops).
"Getting Involved in Undergraduate Research" is a how-to guide for undergraduates in all disciplines.
"Secrets of STEM Research Groups- Structure, Function, & Dynamics" addresses the basic questions of what a group is, what a group can do to help students both professionally and socially, how to find a group to join, and how to be successful in one.
Please feel free to contact Rebecca Anderson, Undergraduate Research Coordinator at rlanders@ucsc.edu with any questions about these workshops, or getting involved with research as an undergraduate.
