Aerospace Engineering Intern

Do not be afraid to take a problem you don’t immediately know how to solve. Be confident, and you have plenty of resources around you to derive the solution. You will always surprise yourself with how much you can do on your own!

Dynamic Stress Intern

June - August 2018 • Ridley Park, PA

What I liked

Overall great experience. Learned a lot, found it easy to network as there are many social events. Enjoyed learning about the company itself, in addition to aerospace standard part stress analysis. Looks like a great place to work; world class compensation and benefits, great culture, engaging co-workers. Hope I get that return offer.

What I wish was different

Wish my position had had more hands on tasks associate with it. Turns out a desk is not my ideal environment.

Advice

Reach out, everyone is happy to share with you what they do. I got to go on a lot of smaller tours of interesting parts of the campus just by stopping by and asking.

Engineering Intern

May - August 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

It was an amazing experience, I enjoyed working on a real project related to my major and making some good money as well. Additionally, beyond the job, it was so much fun to spend a summer in Seattle with a bunch of similarly-minded other interns

What I wish was different

It took a little longer than expected to hear back from Boeing than I expected and once I did, the process had to be rushed a little.

Advice

Be persistent, I had to follow up with Boeing 3 or 4 times before getting my offer. Also, in hindsight, I wish I had gotten the name/contact of the person who interviewed me at the career fair. That would have made it much easier to follow up.

Structural and Mechanical Engineer

May - August 2017 • El Segundo, CA

What I liked

I enjoyed learning about mechanical design and analysis that was specific to aerospace. I designed my own additively manufactured titanium bracket and completed the analysis on it. I learned how to make an engineering drawing for my design and met with suppliers to discuss the producibility. It was a very rewarding and challenging summer internship.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time that summer to do and learn more. I was excited to be given an opportunity to return as a full-time employee.

Advice

As an intern, I think I got the most out of my experience by not being afraid to ask questions. I absorbed as much information as I could in the short time that I was there, and it definitely paid off in the end.
