I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at University at Buffalo Engineering (Buffalo, NY)
Interview
The interview consisted in multiple one on one interviews with a professor. I took a couple of classes he teaches, so we knew each other, and it made it easy for me. We mainly talked the project(description, objectives, duration, my opinion about it), and the salary.
