The Ford Motor Company has an opening for a graduate student internship to
work on a project (with Thailand Government and Ford) regarding producing
ethanol from Thailand agricultural waste, blending the ethanol with
gasoline to make internal engine combustion fuel, and testing the fuel in
motor vehicles.  An engineer with interest in environmental engineering,
chemistry, chemical engineering, and governmental policies appears to be
in the ball-park of this opening.  I received a phone call from Dennis
Schuetzle (graduated with PhD from Univ. of Washington and is presently in
charge of Ford research & development regarding Ford products sold in
Asia) about this opening.
The location of the position will be in State of  Michigan (with possibly
some travel to Asia) and the duration is in the 3-6 mos time (Dennis
recognizes our 3 quarter academic arrangement with the mid-June to
mid-Sept. summer qtr).
Let me know if you are interested (email or phone at 206 543-4789).
 I would guess that there is the
opportunity for funding for a grad student's thesis or dissertation
research - but the position is described as an internship.
Sincerely
Mike Pilat, Professor of Civil Engineering
