Mechanical Engineers

Mechanical engineering interns will likely be tasked with mechanical design or structural analysis tasks. An intern will have to learn the tools used by the company at a particular location i.e (CAD or FEA software). Interns could also be asked to create or update mechanical drawings.

I love the experience that I am gaining working at Lockheed Martin Space. I have been put in charge of a project that could save the program that I am working in a lot of time and money. I am actually getting to see my work in Creo come to life on the manufacturing floor. I also love that they sh...

You don't need to have many skills as an intern, just the basics like knowledge of EHS, Microsoft Office (ppt, word, excel), multi-task, and strong communication skills. You'll be successful if you do what you are asked by your managers and have it ready on time.

I'd expect (and hope for) 45-50 hour weeks to be the norm. Honestly if you're looking for work-life balance in an internship, you should go be an intern somewhere else.

I was paid $21.00/ hour when I worked as a Maintenance Mechanical Engineering Intern at Imerys in Marble Hill, Georgia.

I was able to turn my internship into a full-time position. My advice here is to be upfront with your assigned supervisor about the fact that you are interested in such a position (I think generally this is assumed to be the case); to be social and have a good attitude about your work; to show a ...

Work-life balance at Arup in general is exceptional - benefits (including paid time off) are great. Interns will find that it is incredibly rare to have to work overtime and that if they are ever asked to, they are compensated for it. They will also find that the office is incredibly social with ...

Maintenance engineers they care about the safety first. they use moderate tools and they can do programing for any electronic device. they can read the prints for electric, hydraulic and pneumatic schematics. they can fabricate the parts needed to improve the job and machine it in proper way. the...

When preparing for a Pathways interview, or any interview in general, I have found the following things to be extremely helpful. Review the job description thoroughly. It is important to know as much about what the job entails, so that you can relate you answer specifically to the requirements of...

The first month or two of my first rotation was somewhat slow, but this was due to reading manuals and specifications of the equipment and facilities I would be working in. Though at the time, this was felt somewhat tedious, it greatly pays off in the end. As for day to day, the best part about w...

I liked the ability to apply what I learn in the classroom to exciting projects in the aerospace industry. It was also interesting to see how a company works in day to day life. It is difficult to understand a typical work day as an engineer if you don't immerse yourself in an internship. I didn'...

There's no fixed working hours so you would get to work whenever. There's free Cereal, Coffee, OJ and all the breakfast stuff in the cafe. Once you're settled in, you dive straight in to work. You'll be assigned project/s (yes, multiple and yes, at the same time) at the begining of your internshi...

It really depends on what department/team you are working with. During my internship in Tesla I worked with Gigafactory Modeling and Simulation team, where I spent most of my time writing mathlab codes for 1D modeling. Also, I had to look up to the factory P&ID schematics and acquire real time el...

This info is very relevant, more specifically for engineers whom their focus is on hardware.

You should have a good understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) fundamentals. The ME department at SJSU offers a Manufacturing Processes class (ME101) which covers some GD&T fundamentals. If you’re more ambitious, you can take a graduate class, Precision Machine (ME 250) whi...

I was paid $21.00/ hour when I worked as a Maintenance Mechanical Engineering Intern at Imerys in Marble Hill, Georgia.

Mechanical positions at Arup take one of two basic trajectories (with some degree of overlap between the two): HVAC and CFD. HVAC-related roles can be filled by students pursuing mechanical engineering degrees or architectural engineering degrees (with architectural engineering students probably ...

Maintenance engineers they care about the safety first. they use moderate tools and they can do programing for any electronic device. they can read the prints for electric, hydraulic and pneumatic schematics. they can fabricate the parts needed to improve the job and machine it in proper way. the...

Full-time employees work 45-50 hours per week, usually. Co-ops work 40, usually. You must be willing to put in the extra 30 minutes of effort at 5:00pm instead of immediately leaving if that extra effort will be beneficial to the team. Since GE Appliances is becoming more global every day, full-t...

My major helped me because a lot of what I did had to do with boilers, condensers, cooling towers, and more heat exchange processes. Because I had learned a general background on these processes, I could answer basic questions about shell and shell and tube heat exchangers and other processes fro...

Associate mechanical engineers typically work along side a senior engineer and help them out on projects. Most of the work will be "grunt work" at first (e.g. documentation, testing in the lab). If you perform well, eventually you will be able to start taking ownership of more detailed projects (...

I liked the pay. I did not like the long hours since my position was directly tied to operations in a manufacturing environment. I was on call 24/7 and frequently had to respond to emergencies on the weekends. I also did not like that I didn't get to do very much detailed engineering. This is pri...

I haven't been in this role for some time now, but while I was working as a C&WI Tech I enjoyed the exposure that it gave me to the industry and the opportunity it presented me to return to school and achieve my engineering degree at Pitt. The technician role is an engineering support role. Basic...

Engineers work a 9/80 schedule (google it for more information). Work-life balance is for full-time hires. You should not ask recruiters about it, or expect it as an intern. As previously mentioned this is an INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE program with one of the largest corporations in the world that ha...

You need to be detail oriented, good at communicating, and willing to work hard. As an engineering tech, of course, having an engineering background will help, though that is not necessary to be successful. It definitely helps to be skilled in math, as well as proficient with most basic software,...

Intel sets each intern up with a manager, an experienced mentor, and a young buddy. This was really nice as I could get help on my projects from my mentor and could have a buddy to help me settle in and show me what they do. Lots of the young eminders were happy to have me shadow them to learn ab...

On your resume, it's smart to include a section of tools and equipment that you are proficient with. Welding is a HUGE one. It shows you're not afraid to get hands on and a little dirty. I've had over two dozen interviews for jobs and internships, and when they see my experience with torch work a...

In general, adaptability and willingness to pursue technical projects outside of your skill set. You will be expected to work outside of your comfort zone (e.g. as a design engineer I was also given the task of discovering and vetting potential suppliers and contractors.) Specific technical skill...

As a controller, I work for the equipment engineering & maintenance team at Tesla where we help support production through our equipment that controls material flow. What my main function entails is to keep watch over all of our equipment's health to ensure that the flow of material for productio...

Material Flow Engineering is a Production supporting team. It is literally material flow: how parts and hardware (materials) move about the factory to their intended end location (flow). Parts arrive every hour at the loading docks of the factory and need to end up at the assembly line. Material ...
