All internships are unpaid and for independent study credit with an Engineering Management faculty member serving as the independent study advisor. The terms of the internship (such as start date, end date, hours per week) are flexible. Internships take place over the winter break.

Information sessions are hosted in the Fall. We work to pair students with companies who are seeking interns; not all students who apply are guaranteed an internship.
