I'm starting to think about setting up an internship program for next summer and I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has done this in the past.

There seem to be two aspects to setting up a program like this:

1. Making it productive for both the company and the interns 2. Finding the right students

For the first, it seems like a good idea to make the work both meaningful and independent; perhaps having them work on a new product rather than just having them fix bugs and add small features.

For the second, I'm wondering if you all have specific advice. Should I go straight to the career center at nearby universities? Talk to engineering frats? Something else?

Also, how early does it make sense to start recruiting students?

Thanks!
