Did you even try?
Nothing easier than getting an engineering internship. Companies are fond of poorly paid labor.

can some one tell me about the internship process? Not an engineer just curious. What are the hours, what companies do you do it with? Are you typically expected to graduate and fill a position at that company, treating it like a test run of you? Is it experience to take to another company? What if you don't like that field of engineering?

I think we need to make it public knowledge for all white males that don't have a family member at an engineering firm that they should not do engineering as a major. So many of us are being completely fucked, throwing away our college years at learning bullshit math just to get fucked for not knowing anybody.

It's all through networking. I got my internship through a researcher personally, by working with them throughout the school year. When it came time to apply for the internship, they had to post a public opening, but it was only a paperwork formality because I was already chosen. So anyone who applied for that spot was never going to get it anyway.

Try to get connected with individuals within an organization, even if you apply for a pool of internship positions. Find specific people, research their role in the company, and email them with interest in their project. They are going to have hundreds of nameless applicants. Get your name in front of their eyes. Plus it shows initiative that you want to do their work. They don't want lemmings, they want self-activating people. Researchers need interns that will get shit done with minimal supervision. Realize that you're actually an integral part of their work, therefore you need to add value to it.

Good luck anon, I hope you make it.

Dont be autistic and you'll land an internship. Funny enough I got my internship by following the boomer advice by staring them right in the eye with a firm jandshake...
>email company I'm interested about asking if they offer internships. Ask to be forwarded to the engineering department.
>head engineer sets up an interview as he is not used to students chasing him outside school recruitment events.
>dont act like autist, or try to sound smarter than I am on interview. Be charismatic and dont speak until hes done talking. Be engaged and act natural.
>land job right then and there.

Yes but I understand there is a culture gap.
Here (France), all the best universities are called 'School of Engineering'. Most of the top CEOs went to one.

anecdotally, our engineers seem to go into civil for public works or any other largely end up working for defense contractors. Given that, they get security clearances and as a result work on one project with certain parameters and have no idea what their part goes into. Seems they're kind of bugmen in a way, so its certainly not a conduit for our best in brightest in the same way.
