An internship is an integral part of engineering education. Professional learning experiences in industry and government let you to apply classroom learning to real-world situations. They can help you:

  • acquire professional experience
  • discover your interests within your major
  • develop practical engineering skills and judgement
  • explore the types of employment available in the field
  • build resume credentials
  • enhance career and graduate school potential

Faculty oversight is an important part of the process. Internships must have:

  • clear learning outcomes
  • training and supervision, both on the job and by a faculty sponsor

Finding an internship

Use a variety of approaches when searching for an internship.

College resources: consult with your faculty advisor, your professors, and the Dean’s Office for recommendations.
