How to get an internship and the advantages of doing one



Internships are a very valuable experience to have especially in the engineering field, as it is strongly encouraged. A lot of universities make it accessible for students to engage with companies who come to search for future interns and accept applications. Here are some tips for how to apply for internships:

            -Create a Resume: CORE, a program for undergraduate engineering students, provides help on creating a resume and how to prepare for an interview.

            -Go to events the College of Engineering organizes where companies are invited to accept applications for jobs or internships. MSU has two main career fairs, one in each semester.


            -Think about who you know: If you know someone who works in a firm that hires engineers, see if they can pass on your resume and put in a good word for you.
