WHY INTERNSHIPS?
Ninety percent of engineering employers expect some prior professional experience from their new hires. How do you get it? Participate in a work internship!
Dr. Don Plumlee will lead a discussion on the best strategies for finding and preparing for a successful internship, as well as how to gain academic credit for a Mechanical Engineering Technical Elective.
Several Boise State students who have recently completed internships will talk about their experiences in the field. They will answer questions and give advice on how YOU can make YOUR internships productive and meaningful for both you and the employer.
