Google Engineering Summer Internship http://www.google.ca/intl/en/jobs/internship.html
Google, a leading developer of advanced search technology, is pleased to announce our Engineering Internship Program for Summer 2005. We're seeking extraordinarily qualified individuals to intern on research & development engineering teams in our Mountain View, CA, New York, NY, Santa Monica, CA, Bangalore, India and Zurich, Switzerland offices.
What we're offering
Google has an exciting and innovative summer internship program for students pursuing degrees in computer science or a closely related field.
