CCM offers students at all levels (high school to graduate school) internship opportunities at the University's Composites Manufacturing Science Laboratory. Students work under the guidance of CCM staff and/or affiliated faculty as members of multidisciplinary teams, addressing problems on a variety of research topics. Research areas span all aspect of composite materials, from basic materials research, design, manufacturing, characterization and evaluation, and additive manufacturing. 
To finalize their research CCM hosts a symposium for poster presentation. This allows for networking and promoting presentation skills. The top three posters are awarded a certificate along with a monetary award.
