An immersive internship in an engineering student's field of study can be key to finding a post-graduation pathway. Classroom environments inspire discussion, debate, peer interaction, and shared learning experiences; internships can extend the power of educational experiences through the application and development of classroom concepts in a professional setting.
An internship is also a way for students to gain invaluable experience, access mentors, and build their professional networks. From an employer's point of view, internships are a powerful resource as they look to hire the best and brightest new graduates into their companies.
