Receiving Credit for a Mechanical Engineering Internship

An internship is academic, curriculum-based practical work experience in a particular field of study that enhances student learning.  Students must be enrolled for the internship course to be an intern.  While a qualified supervisor in the workplace directs the larger part of learning, the student is also supervised by a discipline-specific faculty advisor or department administrator who monitors the student's progress and resolves any concerns of the student or the internship provider under policy established by the department/school internship oversight committee. For more information on how to get your internship approved and receive credit visit the Mechanical Engineering Internship page.

Finding an Internship or Job

Nearly all students find jobs and internships on their own. A great resource provided to students to find an internship or job is eRecruiting. Experience is a website where employers post available jobs and internship positions. When students find internship or job positions that they are interested in, they can submit their resumes and schedule a time to interview for the position.
