The Cornell Asset Management Program (CAMP) summer intern project pairs college students with municipalities to develop a pavement management program plan for their highway network.  During the ten-week program, the student intern – along with someone from the municipal agency – develop an inventory, conduct road evaluations, prepare unit costs for maintenance practices, and prepare a final report that outlines a five-ear management plan for the local roads and streets.

ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

·  Attend three days of training at Cornell University, located in Ithaca, NY in May/June

·  Collect road inventory and condition surveys

·  Determine repair alternatives and associated unit costs

·  Generate a prioritized listing of road repairs using the software

·  Create a five-year plan using prioritized listings

·  Instruct a municipal employee on updating the software

·  Help the highway department in other roles as time permits

·  Complete an evaluation report to the Cornell Local Roads Program to suggest improvements to the program and summarize their experience

·  Student interns are hired by the municipality and are subject to any rules or procedures of the municipality.  Hours of employment are the same as the hours of any other summer employee of the department, whether the agency works a five-day week or a four-day week during the summer.

·  Interns must possess a valid driver’s license.

 MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Either

A.  Completion of 12 semester credits from a regionally accredited college or one accredited by the New York State Board of Regents to grant degrees; OR

B.  Training and/or work experience appropriate to the responsibilities of the particular department assignment as determined by the Department Head.
